Tour around 100 Treasure Troves in Numazu NO.39; Numazu Tanabata Matsuri ~Star

Festival, seasonal sight of Numazu in summer~

‘Numazu Tanabata Matsuri (Star Festival),’

which is held in the shopping malls located in the

central urban area, has been one of the seasonal

sights of Numazu in summer. Each shopping mall

enlivens the festival by elaborating their events;

decorating beautiful tanabata ornaments, showing

live performances, and others. ‘Nakamise Tanabata

Matsuri’ was started in 1954 for the purpose of

making it a special feature attraction of Nakamise

shopping mall, whose 250 meter arcade is fully

decorated with colorful streamers and strips of paper

at the time of Star Festival. Visitors can enjoy

viewing streamers and strips of various colors

dangling from the arcade above the head; ranging

from ornaments decorated with a motif of each shop’s

popular topics to strips of paper which kindergarten

and elementary school children wrote their wishes on.

Many people come and enjoy these tanabata

ornaments every year. We can call this colorful scenery of Tanabata in the shopping malls

unchanged for over 60 years a special feature attraction of our city.

▪Tanabata Ornaments decorated in every color of the rainbow in Nakamise Shopping Mall can be

seen until July 7 (Tue).
