October Festivals Posted by Ginny 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.
