The festival was a lot of fun, even though it has something to do with one of the shrines there it was mostly just foodstands and gamestands around. I got to buy both cotton candy and a candy apple, felt like a kid, but I really love sweet things.
I didn't do any games but my friends did and even though they didn't win anything good, they all walked home with some crap anyway because they always gave you a "Sorry that you didn't win" award.
Closer around the temple (or maybe it was a jinja), you could pay to have your kids be lift up one some sort of contraption but 2 people. Or pay some money to vote for which of 3 people looked the best by buying a flower from them. All to support the temple.
At the center of the festival they also had a big advertisement for the movie adaption of "Sukitte ii na yo".
After the festival we went to a park and fired off some small rockets, a few other people were there too doing the same thing. Eventually the police came but then we were already done with our rocket shooting and headed away quietly.
