hiroshima festival

In Hiroshima there are two big festivals, flower festival and Toukasan.
We had flower festival on GW, and will have Toukasan in June, so if you get interested in these festivals after reading this, you should go to Toukasan this June, flower festival next year!!

Flower festival- it takes 5days, each days has different huge parades, events and concerts. There are many kinds of food stands so that you can eat all Hiroshima's food there. Like the below left picture, parades are really exiting, not only car but also a lot of groups are marching such as band group, dance group, everyone looks fun!! My high school joins parade every year, batton club and marching band club. Anyway you can see what Hiroshima is through this festival!


Secondly I'd like to introduce Toukasan, the biggest summer festival in Hiroshima. Through this festival we can feel that summer coming, and we wear yukata (traditional cloth for summer festival) for the first time in a year. Like flower festival, we enjoy parade, walking around, and eating! I usually don't like crowds but I love to go there, because I love food stands and I can see many friends there.
This year it will be held from 6th June to 8th.
