August or Summer in Japan is full with festivals. Samba Carnival is my favourite enjoy with Beers in Asakusa.

As much as we'd like it to continue tomorrow, today was it.

What a beautiful view - and I'm sure the dancing was great too! If anyone has an aparto overlooking the festival then I promise a case of Asahi next year if I can join you on the balcony !

I had plan to go, but it was raining at my place at the time of the event. I was afraid they would cancel it, but I am happy everyone enjoyed it.
