As one of the three major festivals in Tohoku Japan, the Akita Kanto Festival is held every year as scheduled to drive away misfortune, purify the mind and body, and pray for a good harvest. The real charm of the Kanto Festival lies in its acting skills. The performer not only judges the wind direction and maintains balance from the subtle movements of the worshipping god and exorcising evil spirits, but also places the pole lamp on the forehead and waist to operate freely and flexibly. At the moment of stillness, 230 pole lanterns were raised at the same time, the whole city was bright and the lights were shining. This is exactly what the Akita Kanto Festival cannot do in summer! This is also the summer frenzy that we are going to experience this summer! Time: Before Tanabata in early August, 19-20:30 in the evening Kanto Festival Parade Location: Around Akita Station Transportation: From the railway station JR Akita Station West Exit, walk for about 10-15 minutes and cross the bridge on both sides of the avenue

As soon as I got out of Akita Station, I felt the festive atmosphere, followed the popular people and saw people who went to the Lantern Festival. We also ate dinner in a hurry on the road. If we can&#39;t book a room during the festival, we will stay here for a day. Because we have to catch the last train back to Shenggang, we have to look at the beginning and leave. It is a little regrettable.
