The day before Tanabata,
the Star Festival. We welcomed seven guests from seven countries. They are from
Libya, Nigeria, Zambia, North Macedonia, Papua New Guinea, Tanzania, and
Cambodia who are taking part in JICA program.
Today’s hiking
tour was so special. After having lunch on the top of the mountain, we all enjoyed
experiencing Tanabata, one of Japanese cultures. We sang a song of
Tanabata-sama, Japanese children’s song, and wrote their wishes on colorful paper
strips in their mother tongue, and then hung them on bamboo branches, wishing
upon a star.
