Summer festival
The summer festival will be held at Kokura, Kitakyushu on August 6-7, 2016. We have a plan to attend the festival together on August 6 just after the farewell party. There, you can see many portable shrines coming and going along the main street, and you will enjoy a lot of food stalls.
Since the summer season in Kitakyushu is very hot! and very humid!, you must be prepared for the hot! and humid! evening.
