While in Tarumi, Emma and I stumbled upon a festival of some kind... And it being autumn and all, we can only assume that it was some kind of autumn festival...
It started with us seeing two groups of men lifting up two ridiculously heavy portable shrines... Then we proceeded to the permanent shrine where there were a lot of food and game booths set up...
I got some Okonomiyaki, Emma got a Crepe, we both got some beers... Yep, beer at a religious shrine! How great is that?
I wish they'd have beer at the church festivals in Iowa... Shotgunning a beer in the confessional always makes me feel like an alcoholic...
It also made for some great people-watching... Japanese teenagers at a festival acting amazingly similar to American teenagers at a state fair...
All in all a good day and night!
