Hey everyone. I'm just curious of this now. For those of you who have been to Japan or have lived there, currently or previously, did you attend any of the many festivals there? If so, which ones? Did you dress up for it? If so, did you get something custom made for the event? What events or games did you participate in at the festival? Did you get strange looks for attending the festivals for being a Gaijin? Out of the ones attended, which did you like best? The ones in the summer months, or the ones that may occur at other parts of the year? Has anyone ever seen the celebrating of holidays like Kodomo no Hi or Hina Matsuri?
