巣鴨のお祭り2012/ Japanese traditional festival at Sugamo in 2012

During Sep 15th to 16th, Sugamo, a town in Tokyo, had a festival which is traditional Japanese style one. We hold a mikoshi and bring it to a shrine or a temple to pray.
Many local people join the festival and enjoy! Through such event, local community would be connected through generations.

I joined this year after becoming an adult. It is really nice experience to feel local community.

Try to watch this footage, which shows what it is like and how we enjoy the matsuri.
If you are interested in it, you can enjoy at many places in Tokyo:)
