A little known aspect of Kumamoto

I chose the Kusunoki Summer Festival for a little known aspect of Kumamoto. Do you know it? This is a local summer festival. Probably, people who live in near the Kusunoki area know the festival. However, I think that other people do not know it. So I am going to introduce it.

This is a local summer festival. It takes place in Kusunoki central park in August every year. A lot of people who live in near the Kusunoki area go to the festival. Kusunoki central park is near the Kusunoki junior high school. So a lot of the students go to the festival too.

In the festival, there are many kinds of performances for example, karaoke, the Bon dancing, performance by brass band and so on. Various people enjoy doing karaoke and dancing. I belonged to the brass band club when I was in the first year in junior high school. So we played several tunes in the summer festival. It became one of my important memories of my junior high school days.

One of the good points of this festival is that we can meet a lot of local friends. Each of us go to different schools and work for different places. We hardly meet daily life. So this summer festival is good chance for us to meet. We are all looking forward to the festival.

There are a lot of festivals in Kumamoto, but I think the Kusunoki Summer Festival is one of the good festivals of Kumamoto. The festival is not so popular. However, there are a lot of interesting events. You will be able to enjoy it. If you have never gone to the festival, I would like you to go to the festival.

Fukuoka②

I did shopping with my friend in Fukuoka today. I like shopping, so I was looking forward to today. We got up early this morning and we went to ‘Tenjin CORE’ and ‘Soraria Plaza’. Both of us are indecisive people, so we wavered what to buy. There are a lot of shops in Tenjin. So we were enjoy shopping very much. I bought black coat, gray short pants, necklace, black pumps and salmon pink long T-shirt. I was satisfied with them. My friend bought a lot of clothes too. She bought coat, parka, long T-shirt, and so on.After we finished shopping, we went to Kego Park. We could see illuminations. These were very, very beautiful. I like illuminations very much. We can see the illuminations until Christmas. If you have chance to go to Fukuoka, please see them. We had a very nice time today.
