Up to a point, I can imagine it wouldn`t be too hard as one does notice foreigners (at least I know I do) without outright looking for them... But once it gets up into the double or triple digits, I imagine I would not remember.
I think the last time I saw that many non-Japanese was on a trip to the immigration office early last year. If I just ran into them wandering around I`d seriously wonder what was going on.

Heh, yeah. When the numbers get too big though, I quickly jot them down on paper and then reset to 0. My short term memory isn't the greatest in the world. :/

That`s it - and it`s a really big festival too. But it seems like the only festival in the area that foreigners bother with is the penis one... |
Wow, the festival looks good! I have yet to go to a large scale one yet...
I see, thanks for making the effort to remember that. Whether it was subconscious anyway or not, thanks
I always thought Nagoya was more popular. I'm not sure where I saw it, but I could have sworn 'Nagoya' was going around quite a lot between travelers. Maybe it was just for a transfer
