There is no way I could possibly list them all on this blog because Okinawa, Japan has a NEVER ENDING FESTIVAL SEASON. Check the links for dates and times and double check before packing up to attend any of these events because the weather may throw some changes into the plans.
IT'S A RYUKYU ISLAND THING AND I LOVE IT !
IF YOU ENJOY FESTIVAL PHOTOGRAPHY VISIT FESTIVALS OF OKINAWA
Okinawa must be the only place on earth that loves a festival as much as Edinburgh, good on you guys.
ReplyDeleteRyan,
ReplyDeleteWe should apply to Guinness World Records for the most festivals per capita. I doubt anyone comes close to this island !
I would love to see something like that in person! Looks like a lot of fun!
ReplyDeleteAlison,
ReplyDeleteLOL I get tons of mail where people say they think I lead a fun filled life because I attend so many festivals.
They don't realize, the cameraman is busy concentrating on photography and only sees what's being focused on. Someday, I ought to just leave the cameras home and really have some fun !
Perplexed here that I don't see the Obon festival or the Harvest Moon festival at Nakagusuku castle.
