Kishiwada Festival

Japanese Summer is here!! - After a quick dinner at our sushi place we got changed into our yukata and Jinbei and headed out to the firework festival in Kishiwada (15min drive from our town).

We invited Stefan and Su to come along:





Quick change and we all looked very Japanese!



We were very lucky Goichi dropped us off right at the event spot and got there nice and early without any trouble.







I just looooove Japanese festivals, especially the fireworks. They had more than 3,000 fireworks over one hour. They had some tricky ones this year like smily faces, love hearts, sunflowers, Japanese flag etc (unfortunately I was too busy watching them and couldn't get any good photos of them).





Oliver tried some games:

Luca with his beer!?



We had so much fun together. Both of my boys were amazed by the fireworks - not scared at all!
I hope we get to go to more of these while we are in Japan this summer!
