Japanese girls in yukata walking through Kyoto’s bamboo groves
I just received word that I get to spend a week or so in Japan on my way to Korea this summer. I’m very excited as it will be my first time back to Japan in nearly three years. I won’t be able to plan an itinerary until I know which airports I’ll be flying in and out of, but regardless of where I go in Japan this time I’m sure it will be an adventure.
Today’s photo comes from Hasedera in Kamakura, Japan.
As promised yesterday, here is a taste of a bamboo grove not far from central Tokyo.
Today (July 7) is Tanabata in Japan. This is a rather low-key holiday, but you will likely see wishes hanging from bamboo around town. There may something bigger going on near you so check a festival calendar.
