Mizu Matsuri

On August 2nd I went to the Mizumatsuri which is famous for their fireworks. Everyone comes and sits on the lawn and stairs in the afternoon and eat and drink from all the shops that line up. There is Yakisoba, Yakitori, beer, shaved ice and many other kinds of booths. Everyone dresses up in summer kimonos and stop to say hello to friends and acquaintances. Its a wonderful festival! So of course I went and dragged my friends along with me.
