水の恵みに感謝をささげる「水まつり」が行われます。 裏千家による献茶式や、生間流の式庖丁が披露されます。

The Star Festival Tanabata, or the Star Festival, is held on July 7 to celebrate the once-a-year meeting of 2 lovers, Kengyu, the cowherd (Altair) and Shokujo, the weaver (Vega). The rest of the year the two lovers are separated by the Milky Way. In old times, women prayed to the Weaver to wish that their weaving or sewing skills would improve. Later this custom gradually changed and in Edo period children started to write their prayers on the strips of paper and tie them on sticks of bamboo.
