てっぽまつり Gun Festival

Hello all! I decided to start using this blog after only making one post. I all but forgot about it. I'm going to start uploading photos fromy various adventures in Japan. 

During Golden Week ( 5 day holiday in Japan) we went to a gun festival. It was really cool because we got to see people dressed in clothing from a long time ago. I think that their attire was from the 1600s but I'm not sure. Anyway, things started with a parade. 

There were ladies dancing, children staring awkwardly at me while carrying a shrine, cute kids dressed up and lastly the rifle parade. 

Oh, I forgot to mention him. This guy was awesome! He actually posed for this pic. 

They started off talking about something and then the fun started. They proceeded to fire shots randomly at nothing in particular. It was interesting. However, the best part of going was the view.

That's all for today. I have a lot of posting to do but it will be gradually!
