Shizuoka Japan Festival 2007

Dance clips from the first big festival of 2007 in Shizuoka City, Japan. Our little Emily got into the fun and was invited to join two groups of dancers who helped her learn the steps. This particular festival is especially large with food vendors and event venues throughout the grounds of the Shogun's castle and dancers filling the downtown streets. From this particular festival forward there will be smaller festivals held throughout the city nearly every weekend until late September. The people of Shizuoka are known in Japan as very conservative group though they sure do love to dance and party!

Hello jinnyo, Thank you for watching and commenting. I've asked my wife though neither of us know the name of this song. I'm very sorry that we do not have the information you are looking for. -Kurt :-)

Hello Kurt, I went to see a festival in Shimada city, Shizuoka last week. It was fun!

Bye. Toshi

Hi Toshi, I'm glad to hear that you guys had a nice time at the festival over the weekend. I looked for you at the Yada shrine festival last weekend but you were nowhere to be found. Too bad as there was free sake and beer going around and everyone was having a great time. I hope to see you next time! -Kurt :-)

@anaisabelperez Shizuoka is a large city though it has a reputation (well deserved) as a quite place with conservative people and ways. The city is like any big city in Japan being crowded, noisy and expensive. The great thing is that it's easy to escape the city and anyone can be in virtual wilderness within 30 minutes. I certainly recommend Shizuoka as a good place to live, especially if you are interested in a somewhat quieter way of life (compared to Tokyo). ~Kurt :-)
