Fuchi Rokusho Sengen Shrine Tanabata Wind Chime Festival

Held during the summer at Fuchi Rokusho Sengen Shrine in Asama-honcho, Fuji City, Shizuoka, this Tanabata wind chime festival lines the approach before the main hall with more than 2,000 colorful chimes bearing wish strips, whose cool tones fill the grounds whenever the wind blows. By day the chimes sparkle in the sunlight, and by night illumination creates a magical, beautiful scene, offering different faces between day and evening. Affectionately known locally as Mikkaichi Sengen Shrine, it draws many worshippers seeking summer visits and limited Tanabata goshuin seals.
