Hello people ♡ It is getting hot here in Japan.
Personally, I like summer the most because when it comes to summer , there are many interesting activities that I can enjoy.
And the event that brings me the most fun is the Summer Festival-(Natsu Matsuri)!
At the Summer Festival, there are usually many stalls selling food or providing games for people to have fun.
And most of the girls will wear the traditional summer casual costume - Yukata to the event. There are many kinds of food sold at the festivals, such as Yakisoba, Kakigoori and Yakitori .
You can enjoy all the mouth-watering delicious local food at the Summer Festival Stalls .
Children love Summer Festivals, because they can play a variety kind of games together and win prizes. What are the games that are available in the festival ? Lets have a look !!

Shooting game is every boys favorite! Imagine yourself as the hero of some action movies and the cans and bottles as the bad guys, and SHOOT! Thats it. The more bottles or cans that you are able to hit , the bigger the prize that you will be able to get. This game really need some good shooting and aiming skills.
3)Goldfish Scooping （金魚すくいKingyou-Sukui)
Goldfish scooping is my personal favorite game.Just try to scoop as many fishes as possible in the limited time.The difficult thing about this game is the scoop that being used in the game is made of special kind of paper named ‘poi’ which is easily broken if placed in water. So, the players should always be aware of not strongly moving the poi in water.
(4)Water Baloons Yoyo (水風船ヨーヨー）

Water balloons are also very popular among the children. By participating in this game, everyone can get to choose their favorite yoyo balloons home. You are supposed to fish the yoyo balloons in the water by yourself , so you can also experience the fun of fishing something! Yoyo balloons bounces when you play with it. The characters on the balloons are really cute!
