【English Translation】

Hello everyone! Actually, today there was a festival near my house! I’ve already introduced autumn festivals a few times in my blog, but today I want to share a more real experience.

At festivals, there are lots of shops called yatai (food stalls)…. and guess what, “ラブブ” Recently, bubble tea has been popular, but honestly, it was the first time I saw it at a festival stall (lol). Usually, the classic stalls are things like yakisoba, shaved ice, takoyaki, and cotton candy!

While walking around, I found something like this on the street! It’s a taiko (Japanese drum)! The performance and the sound are really cool! I even took a video, so please look forward to it on YouTube.

And here’s this! It’s called an omikoshi, where people carry the gods and walk around the town. They carry it on their shoulders while shouting “Wasshoi!” and a huge group of people moves very energetically. This atmosphere is hard to capture in just photos… If you’re ever in Japan, please try going to a festival!
