Tanabata shrine

Hello.
This is May in Japan.

Today,July 7 is Tanabata no Hi.
Tanabata is a kind of festival, and a Star Festival.

We celebrate the annual meeting of Vega and Altair on July 7.

There is a Shinto shrine to enshrine Vega in Fukuoka.


The Shinto shrine is located in Ogori city, Fukuoka Prefecture.
It is "Tanabata shrine".


There are the stone statues of Vega and Altair in front of the torii.


This Shinto shrine is famous for making a good match.


People write the wish for good matches to the strips of paper, and hang the paper to bamboo branches.

I  wish for making a good match..
