This weekend I had a chance to go down to the Atsugi Summer Festival! It was a lot of fun! I got to see many new things and try a lot of good food. I think one of my favorite things was watching the people and seeing everyone dressed up in their summer kimonos! Here are some highlights:
 |
| There was a procession of family shrines down the streets. They were beautiful! It was awesome to see the families in traditional Japanese clothes. |
 |
| Food Stands! Yum, yum! |
 |
| My first festival food: Shaved ice! It tastes better here! Not quite as syrupy as the ones in the States. |
 |
| I love this shot. |
 |
| My second favorite shot from people watching. |
 |
| A group of junior high students watching a J-pop group. |
 |
| A Kabuki Magic show I stumbled upon. |
 |
| Takoyaki! My new favorite festival food! |

I uploaded some videos to youtube as well if you have time to check them out! They are about one minute each.
