The Chichibu Night Festival

After a rushed attempt to make it to this festival a few years back, when I was living and working somewhere different to now, I finally got to properly enjoy the Chichibu Yomatsuri this year. What makes coming to this festival difficult is that it's always held on the same dates each year, whether it's a weekday or weekend, and it's a 1-2 hours train trip just to get there. So, with some lovely companions, we oohed and aahed at the fireworks and the floats as we filled our stomachs with local brews and grub.
