Friday Night = Festival Night!
It’s Friday, the start of the weekend and the start of dozens of festivals, big and small all over Japan! So grab your best friends, pick up a six pack of ramune, get your yukata on, sling your shamisen over your shoulder and head out to your closest matsuri tonight! The Festival Cat is waiting for you!

Too cute, I love the outfit. I think it’s the headband that sells it. Isn’t it the accessories of the outfit that really complete the look.
OK, I’m geared up and ready to go my friend. Just need to find a flight….

How do the Japanese raise such well behaved kitties? My cat would not have tolerated that!

My cat would murder me slowly and painfully if I would try something like this 😀
But this little guy here looks awesome!

That cat is excellent! And I have to say, I had no idea the Japanese had so much festival tradition before I started reading this blog. Living in a certain European country that lacks said tradition, it makes me like Japan even more 🙂

Thank you Ulrik and welcome to the blog! I am glad you are enjoying it! Yes, Europe needs to rediscover itself I think… there’s so much local culture that has disappeared in the last century or two…

woot woot! (^O^) (I still think of that emoticon as a bat, or a double fistpump…) At the rate things are going, I’m gonna have to create an itinerary sooner rather than later. Or at least a bucket list 🙂 Just heard about cat cafes and that has to go on it!

Haha… first impressions are hard to shake! Cat cafes are great, but very very hard to pick. There is a huge difference between good and mediocre ones!
