Surprise Matsuri in Shimokitazawa!

Well it must not have been a surprise to people who paid attention, but I didn't know about it.
When I went out to get dinner today I heard some noises that reminded me of a matsuri... I followed them and they led me to a matsuri!

Japanese Festivals (matsuri) are really great. Everyone seems so happy, and energetic! I really love them! I think this one might just have been one of the most fun ones I've been to, too!

I took some pictures and videos to try to convey the atmosphere, but you really need to live one to understand how awesome they are.

Here are the videos:

And of course, you can't go to a matsuri without eating matsuri food!
This time I got some yakisoba!

I hope I can go to a lot of other Matsuri this summer!(and maybe even with a cute girl if I'm lucky!)
