How to Enjoy Natsu Matsuri (Summer Festivals)
Although summer is a time I dreaded when I lived in Japan, due to the stifling humidity, noisy cicadas, and frequent rain, one thing I definitely looked forward to was the natsu matsuri (夏祭り), or summer festivals! In the states we have county fairs to gorge ourselves on deep fried Twinkies and everything-on-a-stick, but Japan celebrates with natsu matsuri. They start around the end of July, coinciding with the start of summer vacation for students, and continue through August. Like any good festival, there's plenty of great food, games, entertainment, and fireworks – the Japanese do not limit themselves to only one day out of the whole summer to enjoy them!
