Kawagoe Matsuri
I hope you aren’t getting tired of my photos from the Kawagoe Matsuri, or the Kawagoe Festival late summer last year! I keep going back to the photos I took and finding interesting faces and situations from hundreds of photos I took during those to days and evenings. The festival itself centers around a few main streets and alleys, but it really sprawls out over a very large area, covering over three stations and everything in between. Even on non crowded days it can take 30 minutes to walk from one end of the festival area to the other, and during the festival itself it can take hours! There’s of course the huge mobile festival wagons battling it out whenever they meet up, but there’s also a number of stages put up around the area where performances take place almost around the clock, traditional dance and music. It really is one of my favorite festivals!
Festival pictures are always good.
How about some more Awa pictures? Haven’t had any for a while.
Haha… you know this blog better than I do! Yes sir! I’ll post a few soon… (^-^)
I NEVER get tired of festival pictures. Hope I get to visit more next time I’m over there. Your post are like sneak previews.
Thank you for your support Carrie! (^-^)/
It was really great to meet you finally! Thanks so much for the tour. It was one of the highlights of my trip. I’ll continue to be a faithful reader of Tokyobling!
Thank you Emma! It was fantastic to see you as well, and to see from where your daughter gets her famous good looks! (^-^)/
Very lovely set as usual! Never get tired of festival pictures!! I love the one with the Mom and the little girl. She looks so sleepy!
Haha… yes she does! She must have been exhausted after a whole day of playing! Thank you for your kind words! (^-^)
