We were lucky enough to be invited again to be a part of our local community's festival. We started in our happi coats at 8am at the local shrine and drank sake to get the day started. We took our community's portable shrine and walked it around the neighbourhood before meeting up with other community portable shrines along the way. After a nice bento box lunch we enjoyed watching lion dancing and jostling between all the shrines. We were then invited to the local community centre to enjoy dinner with people who live in our area. We are really lucky to live in an area where the local community really welcomes us and invites us to their events.
