Festival in Waseda

Stumbled upon this festival tonight on my way to get some Indian from my local Indian restaurant. I need to find out what this festival was for but I was really happy I came across it. I was also really happy for the chance to get to play with my shiny new camera.

Oh by the way, those traditional looking lanterns are actually company sponsors. I spotted a McDonalds one (written in katakana) and a Mos Burger one. Who’d have thought?

Everyone was dancing to traditional Japanese music. They all knew the dance moves too! I liken it to a Japanese version of the "Nut Bush."

Food stalls and dancing.

Takoyaki man and the yakitori guy.

Games for the kids, food for all.

Choc dipped bananas. Way to turn something healthy into something unhealthy.
