Nanohana Festival

Saturday we went to another festival. It seems the Japanese come up with any reason they can to have a festival. I think it's great because it allows communities to get together. There are always lots of vendors, most of which are selling food on a stick. So this time we went to the Nanohana Festival with the Blauwkamps. Nanohana is the flower they use to make canola oil and called rape blossom in english. I don't know where they came up with that name. Anyway, there wasn't much to it (you can see most of it in the background). However, it was a beautiful drive and the festival grounds had a view of Mutsu Bay on one side and mountains with huge, modern windmills at their base on the other side. It was a good day.
