Aomori Nebuta Float in Tokyo

A Nebuta float made its way to Yasukuni Shrine during the Mitama Festival in July 2006. Dancers called haneto danced in front of the float followed by taiko drummers and other musicians. The float even went through the shrine gate at top speed. Photos here: http://photoguide.jp/pix/thumbnails.php?album=338

This is not Tokyo, but Kashiwa! You can read the kanji of Kashiwa city on the back of their outfit.

I was in Kashiwa matsuri last night. ^^

Kashiwa rules! :)

It is Yasukuni Shrine in Tokyo, not Kashiwa.

こんなイベントがあるなんて、青森出身の私としてはとても嬉しく­思います。今は東京に住んでるので、また開催することがあればぜ­ひ見に行きたいです！

ただ、ねぶたが小さめなのが残念ですね。
