In that sense, in Japan it's not in a daytime, usually. Mysterious...right. Good atmosphere for couple! Getting dressed in Yukata (casual type of Kimono. Kimono is made of silk, while Yukata is made of cotton, and is for summer season.) and go to Hanabi (fire works) or Bon Odori is something fun in the summer season in Japan.

This is sooo interesting. Actually where I live there is a Bon Odori festival except it's in the day time and it's only for a couple of hours. It's interesting how different the atmosphere changes from day to night, it's more mysterious. Well I am a foreigner and so many things are mysterious in a way. Thanks for the post!

It looks so beautiful. I would love to visit a bon odori ( we only have fairs like this around Christmas ) and the grilled chicken looks good ! At least in the dark , I would dare to dance too ;) But , ahem beer in plastic cups ? Ah well when in Japan, do like the Japanese. Oh , thanks for posting this, Kirin. It looks so beautiful.
