Every year a full moon viewing festival is held in Himeji in the grounds in front of the castle. This year there was a holiday the next day which made the all you can drink sake for 500 yen ($5) so much more tempting! I tried two different types of sake and the sweeter of the two was definitely the best! My friend Laura who lives in Shikoku came to visit with her friend Zak so they were lucky to see the festival too! We had a great night - a picnic, taiko drumming, other musical performances, drinking, viewing the moon all in front of the amazing Himeji castle!

Makoto, Laura and Zoe - Makoto gave Laura a lift home on the back of his bike!
Zak gave Kyosuke a lift home too - 6 people and 4 bikes!
