It will be Chinese Valentine's Day in half a month，which we call it Tanabata festival in both China and Japan.The Tanabata Festival in Japan is the 7th day of the Gregorian calendar. It was first introduced from China in the Nara era. After more than a thousand years of integration with the local culture, it has a unique style. The most famous is the Tanabata Festival in Sendai.
You can feel the strong festival atmosphere just out of the station.

The custom of making wishes on July Eve began in the Edo era. Legend has it that on July Eve, one writes one's wishes on a short book (long strip of colored paper wishes) and hangs them on bamboo, so that one's wishes can be realized. The brochure of the Four-Day King Temple will also be burned by monks after chanting sutras on the evening of July 8, in order to make their wishes come true.
There is an episode of Cherry Pills about Tanabata and Tanabata.
