The 'Matsumoto Machinaka Tanabata Festival' workshop will be held at the Hakari Museum (Former Takeuchi Scale Store Warehouse) located on Nakamachi Street in Matsumoto City. The venue is a registered cultural property of Matsumoto City, featuring a traditional warehouse-style architecture from the late Meiji era, characterized by its white plaster walls and traditional design. In this historic space, you can connect with local culture and history through seasonal exhibitions and hands-on experiences.
This event is set against the backdrop of a historic building that preserves the lifestyle of the Meiji era. You can spend time in a special 'Kura-zashiki' (warehouse-style room) where the first floor once served as storage and the second floor as a living area. The exhibition showcases the scenery of Tanabata intertwined with local history. Through the workshop, you can go beyond just observing and actually engage your hands to touch the culture. Enjoy a moment of seasonal beauty amidst the historic landscape of Nakamachi.
