Decided to go to Kagurazaka today just for a summer stroll, and ran right into the Kagurazaka Matsuri. Everybody in yukata and fans, a complete throwback to hundreds of years ago.
Opening act was 10,000 kids, the oldest no more than 6-7 years old, doing the synchronized awa odori to live fife and drum from Kagurazaka-shita to the top of the hill. They probably had to round up every kid in Japan for that one.
