Natsu Matsuri




I was up at Amu Plaza on Friday, and the children's play area had been removed to make room for some kind of Natsu Matsuri (Summer Festival) ceremony.



The two flower things on the stage are mikoshi (portable shrines). The brown box on the ground in front of the stage is a coin donation box. The altar at the far end of the stage seems to be for present donations or something.

I have no idea when the ceremony was set to take place. When I got back up here on Saturday, the stage and chairs were gone, and a 3-on-3 basketball game was in progress.
