Re:Bon Odori Festival this weekend - 2008/07/07 10:46Sorry for the short notice folks. We were too busy the last couple of weeks and did not manage to post it earlier.
anyway, the festival was a really nice change of atmosphere, It was small and simple and you could feel the community spirit among the people who attended.
