There are many traditional events in Japan. Especially summer festival might be very interesting for visitors from the different country. In Japanese a festival is called "Matsuri". I've been joining matsuri about 20 years. For this festival speaking Japanese is not very important, so a lot of people feel Japanese very much and enjoy it even though you can't speak Japanese very much.There are many Summer Festivals in Japan, but I would like to introduce the festival in Yotsuya which is a town very close to Shinjyuku (Tokyo). Many people think that Shinjyuku is a big city, but there is still Japanese tradition and good culture.
There are 6 Topics that I will explain about
1.What's Yotsuya Matsuri like?
2.Special Cloth for Matsuri
3.Yotsuya Katsugi(how to carry mikoshi)
4.Why we carry Mikoshi(What’s it for?)
5.Special festivals every other year
6. How far we carry a Mikoshi?
