Over the weekend the annual summer Tanabata festival was held in the Asakusa area of Tokyo stretching almost 2 kilometres down one of the streets. Tanabata is held on the seventh day of the seventh month and is also known as the star festival. The Tanabata festival in Asakusa had the usual festival staples of toriyaki, beer and people along with a number of Hawaiian dancers. The street where the festival was held was spectacularly decorated along with great views of the Tokyo tower.
