Takayama Festival Float
The Secrets Of Speaking Japanese Fluently
There is one festival I badly wanted to see - floats that bang into each other in Kakunodate in September if Im not mistaken. Yet to do that though. :(
ReplyDeleteThe Japanese certainly know how to celebrate.
ReplyDeleteHow amazing, I would love to see this!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lina, sounds like a fun event but hope they don't use 17th century floats like in Takayama :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Lisa, they sure do and do it full on as well with nothing held back :)
Thanks Jenny, it is one of the highlights of Takayama which there are many :)
