After getting into port, the Dragon Ship runs on the land and moves to a large park.

Look! The brother boats of Dragon Ship are preparing for the festival, hauling in a catch of fresh fish and crabs.

Many stands get lined up around the Ship and the festival finally kicks off.
Let’s look around the stands, such as a shave ice stand, a fried Chinese noodle stand(Yaki-Soba) and so on.



“Wasshoi! Heave-ho! Mikoshi (portable shrine), Wasshoi!”

The Dragon Festival specialty, “the Shishimai (lion dance) show” has just begun!

After watching “the Shishimai show”, let’s board the Dragon Ship!

You feel the giant dragon much bigger when looking at it on the ship!

Well...it smells good!

Oh, they are grilling fish and shellfishes, and boiling crabs!! They are the products of the sea that the brother ships had caught a little while ago.

Yes, the Dragon Festival is an all-you-can-eat-and-drink festival.

Oh, I can’t decide whether I should fill my stomach or go up the tower.

Beside the bar, a bear is passing out balloons. Let’s get a balloon of your favorite color

Oh, no! The bear is going up in the air! Evidently, too many balloons made the bear float.
I can hear the sound of drumbeats.

In the evening, the Bon festival dance starts!

Let’s participate in the Bon festival dance!

Enjoyable and happy Dragon Festival! I wonder where the festival takes place tomorrow!
