Tanabata In Sendai
About a year ago, I went to a Tanabata Festival near Yokohama. It was an amazing place, with all the streamers filling the streets, celebrating the annual reunion of the lovers across the Milky Way. Sendai, however, is the place to be. For three days near the beginning of August, downtown is full of festivities, with their streamers hanging so low everyone walks through them. (The live-streaming fireworks were the opening ceremony.)
Every shop joins in, from Starbucks to even Claire's Accesories! And of course, no traditional ceremony is complete without Pokemon.
Miyagi Prefecture, home to Sendai, is infamous for being home to the ugliest girls in Japan. This one's no exception:
Even the dogs dress up!

You can scoff at the dog but I think he's just relieved he's not the one in the Crocs.
You certainly wouldn't catch me dressing up like that. And, my mum says that there is nothing wrong with crocs, she has two pairs and they are very comfortable, so there!
