Awesome wrap up of all the events! Japan is so cool like that, would love to go to the Kyoto Gozan No Okuribi too!

Ahh we didn't get the chance to visit any events when we were in Japan, we were just trying to hide from the crowds during Golden Week! I'm digging the Yosakoi dancing... but, realistically, I'd love to just go to all!
