Setsuko (left, holding parasol) and Ritsy getting shelter from the hot sunWe walked into the main kite flying grounds with Setsuko helping to shelter Ken a bit from the hot sun before she decided to pack it in for the day.
We were burning hot that day walking around so were happy to quickly get a rest from the sun.
The park proves excellent for this sort of festival- providing a nice breezy wooded area to rest-- it was quite refreshing.
The fair had the usual assortment of stalls offering up all the fried noodles and Japanese style pancakes you desire!
A good view of the various kites.
Finally we headed home having enjoyed the excitement of the festival. As we walked back to the bus stop, we saw some poor suckers got their kite stuck in the trees.One of the good things the festival organizers had was a system whereby they would give you a garbage bag and some tongues. If you return them (with a bag full of garbage) on the way out- you received a free eco-shopping bag. I took the job seriously and worked hard to earn my little green shopping bag!
