The Tanabata Festival is a huge event in the Tohoku Region of Japan....In english its known as the Star Festival and hundreds of people come out to celebrate dressed in their summer yukatas! There are fireworks, street performers, massive paper decorations all around the city and of course...lots of Japanese food!! Somehow this is perfect ...

Japan is a stunning country aesthetically and I had the opportunity to live here for a year! I found it amazingly clean, the people extremely polite and the food incredible!
