Mishima Festival 2011
If you’ve followed this blog for a while you’ll know that one of my favorite areas of Japan is Shizuoka prefecture, and of course, the summer festivals the cities and villages in this lovely part of Japan has to offer! In August it’s Mishima’s turn to take center stage with their huge Mishima summer festival. I visited last year and took these photos. Mishima is mostly famous for having incredibly clean water, and although I have tried water that is said to be even better, the water I tasted in Mishima was by far the best I have ever tasted. If you’re in Shizuoka prefecture over the summer, this is a must visit!
Love the way the lighting has come out in these images
Thank you Todor and may I add that you have some great images there on your website!
many thanks, i appreciate that!
Still, kids and lanterns along with smiles makes my day!
Thank you Timi! Mine too! I could look at that all day and night and never tire! (^-^)
I want that little boy to be my child! And that adorable tiny western-infused yukata for the little girl is too sweet. The man in the “Ganbarou Nippon” photo looks super jolly! I want to hang out with him!
I am so lucky to be able to visit all these festivals and great places and see these great people! (^-^)
