October Festivals Posted by on Oct 7, 2010 in Uncategorized

There are lots of Japanese festivals in October. Here are some of my favorite festivals.

The Sawara festival  (佐原祭り) is a festival where men push around a palanquin with a large doll mounted on the top of the palanquin.

Yabusame festival (流鏑馬祭り) is a festival where men dress up as samurai and draw their bows on horseback.

Warai Festival (笑い祭り笑い祭) is a festival where people laugh in unison to the sound of jingling bells.

    I have been to the Takayama Festival 2 years ago and that was also an amazing festival. I just checked their website and it happened again last weekend.

    Good thing about this festival they do it two times per year. So there another chance to go in April.
