Greetings
The cicadas are no longer singing and the mornings and evenings have started to cool down. Perhaps now that the weather isn't so harsh, you're thinking of a trip to Japan?
The theme of this photo contest was "Japanese Festivals." This time, our staff selected entries that show what Japanese festivals are all about.
We will continue to hold COOL JAPAN VIDEOS Photo Contests on a regular basis, and we look forward to your future participation.
We hope that by sharing information about Japan, more and more people will learn about Japan's charms and people from all over the world will come to visit Japan.
Thank you for your continued support of COOL JAPAN VIDEOS.
Announcement of Results
If you were selected as a winner, please follow the proper procedures to receive your prize.
The "Japan Rhine Summer Festival and Long-Running Fireworks" is held for 10 days with Inuyama Castle in the background. The fireworks, launched from a boat, cover the entire night sky and illuminate Inuyama Castle, providing a beautiful backdrop for the fireworks display.
The collaboration of the castle and fireworks is simply breathtaking.
The Furutone River Lantern Festival is a summer tradition in Saitama Prefecture. This photo depicts a different scene from that at night. The sky and river tinted orange by the sunset, as the lanterns stretch far into the distance... We have selected this photo as an honorable mention.
Nishimonai Bon Odori is known as one of the three major bon dances in Japan. The warm light of the torches helps create a more historic atmosphere. The spirited hands of the dancer make us interested to see what the dance is like for ourselves.
Kyoto's Gion Festival is the most famous festival in Japan. You can see floats parading through Shijo Street, as crowds of people cheer and celebrate. The sky and buildings photographed from a high vantage point give the photo a unique sense of depth.
A girl in yukata enjoying a milk-flavored rice cracker with both hands. Her eyes are probably focused on her mother, who is holding the camera. Yukata are only worn in summer, making this no doubt a special moment for her. We have selected this photo as an honorable mention.
