先週末、久しぶりに地元の静岡県富士市で夏祭りに行ってきました🎉子どものころに何回か行ったことがあったんですが、大人になってからはなかなか行く機会がなくて、本当に久しぶりのお祭りでした！
浴衣を着るのも何年ぶりかわからないぐらいでした🫨自分では上手に着られないので、母が浴衣を着せてくれて、髪の毛もきれいにセットしてくれました🙌
でも午後から大雨になって、「今年のお祭りは中止かもしれない…」と半分諦めていました…天気がよくなるのを待ちながら、家族でお寿司とうなぎを食べたり、映画を見たりして、のんびり過ごしました🙏
夕方になって、雨が止んで花火だけは見ることができるとわかりました！急いで支度をして祭りに行きました😊富士市は田舎ですが、この日はめっちゃたくさんの人が来ていて、東京かな？！と思いました😂
屋台もあって、焼きそばと牛タン串を食べました！最後にはきれいな花火を見ることができました🎆とても近くで見ることができたので心にも響きました✨
久しぶりに家族と一緒に過ごした夏祭りは、とてもいい思い出になりました！来年もまた浴衣を着て祭りに行きたいです！NanaFamと一緒にも行きたいですね！

Last weekend, I went to a summer festival in my hometown, Fuji City in Shizuoka Prefecture, for the first time in a long time. I had been there a few times when I was a child, but after becoming an adult, I hadn’t had many chances to go, so it really felt like a special occasion.
It had also been many years since I last wore a yukata. I couldn’t put it on by myself, so my mom helped me wear it and even styled my hair beautifully.
However, it started raining heavily in the afternoon, and I had almost given up, thinking, “The festival might be canceled this year…” While waiting for the weather to improve, my family and I relaxed at home, ate sushi and unagi, and watched a movie together.
In the evening, we found out that at least the fireworks would still happen! We quickly got ready and headed to the festival. Fuji City is usually a quiet countryside town, but there were so many people that day that it almost felt like Tokyo!
There were lots of food stalls too. I ate yakisoba and grilled beef tongue on a skewer. In the end, we were able to enjoy the beautiful fireworks. They were so close that I could really feel their power and beauty.
Spending time with my family at the summer festival after such a long time became a wonderful memory. I hope I can wear a yukata again and go to the festival next year. It would be so much fun to go together with NanaFam too!
