There are countless local festivals in Japan because almost every shrine celebrates one of its own. We really enjoyed going to these festivals. We'll miss everything about them... yukatas, lanterns, bananas on sticks, tacoyaki stands, carnival games, fireworks, but most importantly spending time with good friends and being fully immersed in the Japanese culture. Ok, let me rephrase that, we'll miss almost everything about the Japanese festivals - we will NOT miss the crowds, intense summer heat, or mosquitoes. I swear I'm allergic to the mosquitoes in Japan - I swell up and get big welts!
Our last festival, and Elodie's first kiss. She'll surely miss her Shaun-Shaun.
