Yuzawa Harvest Festival

Beautiful autumn weather on Sunday made for a really nice day out in Chuo Park in Yuzawa. It clouded over a bit in the afternoon but the morning saw stunning blue skies.


There was plenty of food available - rice balls, BBQ steak, home made blueberry pie, mushroom curry and local stew were all fantastic eats. By far the longest queue of the day was for the mochi which was being pulverized right there in front of the tent.

The local emergency services were there too letting the kids dress up in fireman's garb and clamber inside the ambulance and fire engine.

The hot air balloon was also a big hit but strong gusts of wind interfered with the operation at times.


All in all a great Sunday in the park...
