The nearest shrine to our house holds its summer festival in the middle of August every year.
We can enjoy various foods and desserts at food stands, and especially kids enjoy some game stands. Gen was closely watching at goldfish scooping.
We had a lot of fun. Putting on yukata is one of my most favorite parts in visiting these summer festivals. Gen wears "jin-bei" for his traditional Japanese summer cloth.
The summer festivals in Japan usually relate to "shintoism." Our ancestors were thankful for Shito Gods for their harvest, and its spirit still continues to our present time.
