Last September 14, we went to the town of Yokote to witness the annual Hanabi Festival. Hanabi in Japanese means fireworks. We took a bus to Wada Station at 1:50pm then waited for the connecting train to Jumonji Station at 2:45pm. We finally arrived at Yokote at 4:10pm. Some of the girls wore the traditional yukata to the festival.
There is really nothing much to see in Yokote except for some lovely flowers. For dinner, we bought some food from Lawson's and found a spot in the field as we waited for the Hanabi Festival to officially start. It was a beautiful, albeit, cold night.
The fireworks display started at 7:00pm. It was really stunning!
Around 8:45pm, all 24 of us ran so fast in order to catch the 9:28pm train back to Wada Station. We finally arrived at 11:00pm. We decided to just share a cab because we were all so lazy to walk back to AIU just like we did the week before. Hooray for another great weekend!
