This week's episode sees my trip to one of my high school's culture festivals. The culture festival, or 文化祭 as it is known in Japanese, is a very important event for high schools in japan. Many of the students get involved and much planning is required well in advance. Besides the sports festival, graduation and opening ceremonies, the culture festival is one of the most important events of the school year. Usually these sorts of festivals involve the students making festival food such as octopus balls たこ焼き or yakisoba 焼きそば. Live music is usually played on a giant stage of sorts, and in general the school hosts many fun games, activities, panels, and dances to enjoy. It is just a nice way for the student body and the local community to come together and enjoy a weekend. This was a very fun festival for me, as it was my first time going to a festival at a school in which I teach at. So, it was really nice to see my students enjoying themselves and having such a fun time. I really recommend you to try and go to these festivals if you get a chance, but for those not in Japan I hope this video shows some of the fun that can be had at such an exciting event. More videos to come next! Oh yeah, anyone else notice that episode 8 of both Tokyo and Iwate Swan is a school festival video? Totally didn't plan it like that, so strange how that worked out hah. See you next time! Music in this episode: Iwate Swan Theme: Keterol
