In the summer, Japan is a world of fireworks. I’m pretty sure that every weekend since the summer began there has been a fireworks festival somewhere in the Kansai region. In fact, most weekends there are several fireworks festivals in various cities. Two weeks ago I went to the Tenjin Matsuri fireworks festival in Osaka. Yesterday after work, I went to the Kobe fireworks festival. And today I went with my friend/co-worker and his wife to the Awaji Island fireworks festival. The festivals are always filled with women in beautiful and elaborate yukatas, tons of incredibly cute Japanese children, and lots of delicious food! This almost makes up for the usually uncomfortable heat and humidity :S
Tonight I had my camera with me, so here are some pictures of Awaji Island. Enjoy!
