Greetings from Kawagoe

Japanese festival October 2019

This is one of the shrines for the gods that walk Japan. Each year, if possible, many of them descend and are carried among the people. They greet each other and battle one another…with music.

The streets are packed with food stalls, people, and traditional music.

The streets are overflowing with people, scents, and sounds as people mill about in the crisp Autumn air. Kawagoe is only a thirty-minute ride from the center of Tokyo. In that thirty minutes, we travel through time and into the past. to a night where the gods come, alive and dance in the streets and the city shows its soul.

The sweets that are sold, evoke memory for those that have come before. While many are similar to what can be found in the United States. There is something distinctly Japanese about them.

    Having read this I believed it was extremely informative. I appreciate you taking the time and effort to put this informative article together. I once again find myself personally spending way too much time both reading and commenting. But so what, it was still worthwhile! Nomi Patrizio Augustin

    Thank you for the sensible critique. Me and my neighbor were just preparing to do some research on this. We got a grab a book from our local library but I think I learned more from this post. I am very glad to see such fantastic info being shared freely out there. Doroteya Ellsworth Hans
