Head over to Chiyoda ward’s Kanda Shrine and write your wish on a paper strip (tanzaku) during this annual Tanabata Festival. The shrine is also selling a beautiful Tanabata-themed omamori lucky charm that includes a colourful pink and turquoise tanzaku. This custom celebrates the two star-crossed lovers Orihime and Hikoboshi, and it's believed that your wishes will come true during the night of July 7.
