Asahikawa San Roku Festival 2008

The promo poster for this year's San Roku Matsuri (festival) has been released, well, to us anyway,...everybody else probably got it three weeks ago. In any event, if you are not already geared up for it, or alternatively don't have a great deal of information about it, here is what you can expect (in no particular order);

(1) Ice cold beer

(2) Fireworks (a very tidy display riverside)

(3) Traditional Dance

(4) Ice cold beer

(5) Quality Festival Food (more on this later)

(6) Traditional Taiko Drumming

(7) Not so traditional Taiko Drumming

(8) Mikoshi Parade

(9) Asahikawa Ramen (best in Japan)

(10) Lots more...

Beer is listed twice because with the expected hot/humid weather you'll really appreciate it.

Anyway, we'll post more info soon,

Here's the poster

See you at the festival
