The Yamaguchi Tanabata Chochin Festival is a traditional event held in Yamaguchi City, Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan. It takes place from August 6th to August 7th, 2024. Let me share some details about this enchanting festival:
Origins and Tradition: Approximately six centuries ago during the Muromachi period, the lord of the Ouchi clan lit bamboo lanterns on tall bamboo poles (known as “chochin”) to pray for the well-being of ancestors. This heartfelt tradition, rooted in love for the town, family bonds, and reverence for ancestors, has been passed down as a local summer festival.

Chochin Lantern Decorations: One of the festival highlights is the “Chochin Tunnel.” Imagine long bamboo poles adorned with around 40 red paper lanterns each, carefully lit by hand. The resulting tunnel of glowing lanterns creates a magical atmosphere.
