Get invigorated at Tokasan by a giant inflatable lantern
|
Japan |
In these difficult economic times an event like the 3 day Tokasan Yukata Festival (June 5-7) is just the kind of thing to divert peoples' minds and allow them to indulge in some good, cheap (if you can keep the kids away from the game stalls and by your beverages from the conbini), traditional fun.
