Our first train to the festival was almost empty. This is rare!
At the festival, even some of the kids were dressed up in their kimonos!
There were people behind these masks!
We ate some kakigori. It is like a snow cone but the ice is fluffier - perhaps more snow-like.
In this game, you pay money and get to pull a string. You get whatever prize is at the end of the string.
More singing and dancing...
No, I don't like fish.
It seems like there is always a line for some store. I try to skip those but perhaps I am missing out on the best food!
Geishas, I think.
Our adorable three children!
This stand was selling takoyaki. (We call them takoballs.) There are pieces of octopus (tako) put into a batter and cooked in a special pan. (Yaki means fried.) I haven't had an urge to eat them.
Now, I do eat yakisoba. These are fried noodles. The smell of the sauce they put on these makes me hungry when I walk by the stands. Yummy!!
You do not often see people with tattoos in Japan.
A crowded alley with lots of food.
Jeremy wasn't sure what this was but he got it and ate it anyway. It looked like a candied cherry but he said it was a bit tart and not so tasty.
A video where you can see that pants are optional for the guys!
The "shoes" are called tabi and separates the big toe from the other toes.
