Located in Ugo Town, Akita Prefecture, Nishi Baonnai Bon Odori is a summer festival with a history and tradition of more than 700 years, which is counted as one of the three major Bon Odori dances in Japan along with the Gujo Odori of Gifu Prefecture and the Awa Odori of Tokushima Prefecture. The venue is Nishimaonnai Honmachi Street, which is the central village of Ugo Town, and it is a bon event held for 3 days from August 16th ~ 18th every year. It was mysterious and gorgeous to see dancers dressed in distinctive torioi hats knitted hats, colorful and beautifully stitched kimonos and yukatas, dancing gracefully to the beating of taiko drums and songs. Especially this year, as it was the first regular event in four years, people from outside the town were able to participate in the dance, and many people from inside and outside the prefecture came to see it. Photos of the festival will continue after this, but I hope you can see it.

On the south side of the Zao mountain range, on the way from Togatta Onsen to Shichigajuku It is the elder lake where we stopped. I didn't know, but it seems to be the name of 🍁 autumn leaves. However, in summer, Lake Elder was quiet and covered with the dark green of the trees, and I fell in love with the scenery reflected on the surface of the lake. I would like to visit next time during the autumn foliage 🍁 season.

The Sendai Tanabata Festival concludes the three major festivals in the Tohoku region. Colorful streamers can be seen in the arcades in the center of Sendai City and throughout the city, giving you a cool summer feeling. This year, which was held normally for the first time since 2019, infection control measures have been greatly relaxed, The scenery of many tourists wading through the streamers has returned to the central shopping street.

I went from Miyagi Zao Togatta Onsen to Okama to see the sunrise. The sunrise at the top of the mountain is good, but from a gentleman who likes to travel from Sendai I was guided to a superb view point and was able to take a picture of the splendid morning sun. Echo Line Komakusadaira highly recommended!

In Kakunodate, Akita Prefecture, the February fire-swinging kamakura is held, and it is a powerful "fire swing".

★ The 18th COOL JAPAN VIDEOS Photo Contest is currently being ★ held with the theme of "Japanese festival" We're looking forward to seeing everyone's wonderful submissions! This time, we will introduce the post of "Kazmisa KazMisa"! One of the three Inari shrines in Japan, Takekoma Shrine, is a historic shrine built in 842. During the summer festival, many "wind chime" and "windmills" are installed in the precincts, and they are lit up at night. ◆Takekoma Shrine◆ 【Hokkaido Jingu】〒989-2443 Miyagi Prefecture, Iwanuma City Inaricho 1-1 【Access】 About 20 minutes from Sendai Station to Iwanuma Station on the JR Tohoku Main Line, about 15 minutes on foot from Iwanuma Station on the JR Tohoku Main Line and Joban Line 【Summer Visitation Period】July 1, 2023 ~ August 31, 2023

Takekoma Shrine, located in the center of Iwanuma City, Miyagi Prefecture, is a venerable Inari shrine that is counted as one of the three major Inari shrines in Japan. Every year from July ~ the end of August, "Summer Visits" are held here, and during the period, glass wind chimes and original wind chimes of white foxes are displayed on the approach to the shrine grounds, and summer attire that feels cool is applied. The wind chimes swaying in the wind play a summery tone, so you will feel cool.

It is Lake Shirakawa in Iide Town, Yamagata Prefecture. Since this is the edge of the lake and is not affected by the wind, the reflection of the submerged forest on the marine blue surface of the lake came out very beautifully.
