Last Week in Japan 2: Kashiwa Matsuri

Went with Aiya to a matsuri in Kashiwa, Chiba prefecture.

This little boy was twirling a pole that had ribbons on it.

Mikoshi Parade

NAGASHI SOMEN!! all you can eat somen that comes ice cold down a bamboo river. it was only 200 yen!!


Kashiwa was packed!


At dusk, they had a Nebuta Parade, where huge paper lantern floats where pulled around the town to the beat of the festival music.
