On July 7 every year, a special K-Ltd. Express 'Orihime （weaver star = Vega）' is operated in the evening after the folk story Tanabata (tale of two-stars rendezvous), and at Kisaichi Station an event is held to let Orihime (weaver star = Vega) and Hikoboshi (cowherd star = Altair) meet once a year.
毎年7月7日には七夕伝説にちなみ、臨時K特急の「おりひめ」を夕方に走らせ、私市駅で1年に一度だけ「おりひめ」と「ひこぼし」を出会わせるイベントが行われる。
