We're in the Obon Holidays at the moment which means Summer Festivals. Yuzawa's Summer Matsuri in on Friday 15th and Saturday 16th August. The main area for the Festival is just outside the East Exit of Echigo-Yuzawa Station. There are things going on throughout the day but one of the highlights will be the Fireworks which start at around 20:00 on Friday night.
There will also be dancing, drums and live music, plenty of stalls selling festival food, and the whole town will be out in force.
The shrine will be making its way around town too, both the children's one and the main one. If you fancy helping out with this, volunteers are always needed.
Hopefully see you there.
