I went to see the Kishiwada danjiri festival(Fall festival). I like this festival so much! ^^

One of Japan's most famous and exciting danjiri(float) festival was held in Kishiwada, Osaka Prefecture on mid-Sptember again this year. The festival is said to date from the early 1700s when a local lord held a festival to pray for a good harvest. and the festival usually attracts about 600 thousand local and overseas visitors.
Each float is 4 meters high, and weighs 4 tons. In the festival, danjiri(floats) are pulled around the city at terrific speed by several teams of men. and the highlight of the festival is the "Yarimawashi" (corner turning). Done quickly to the beat of drums and shouts of the pulling team, corner turning is one of the most dramatic elements of the festival. In the evening, each float is spectacular decorated with around 200 lanterns, and the floats look more elegant.^^
If and when you have a chance to visit Osaka on September, Really must see the Kishiwada danjiri festival. I think you'll enjoy it!! and I'm sure that you'll have a good time.^^
