Chiba Minato Tanabata Festival

The Chiba Minato Tanabata Festival is a waterfront event held at Sanbashi Hiroba, a seaside park in front of Kayz Harbor near Chiba Minato Station. Usually held in early July, the plaza is set with bamboo grown in Chiba City where visitors can hang their wishes. The program includes a bamboo-charcoal menu and fresh local satoyama vegetables, bamboo-lantern workshops, a nagashi-somen noodle experience, and YOSAKOI live stages, offering enjoyment for all ages. With views over Tokyo Bay, it is a community-loved Tanabata event perfect for an evening by the sea. (Note: dates are based on the previous year.)
