Though not as festive as the outskirts, residents still flocked the streets in a suburb of Tokyo in traditional kimonos and yukatas to participate in local festivities.
There is games, food, traditional dance and drum performances. A photo shows Adele hitting a watermelon blindfolded. For Y300 (US$3.30), each person, young and old, gets a chance to try hitting a stationery watermelon by walking blindfolded some 10 meters. The oly guides are a man sitting the melon blowing a whistle, and shouts by parents 2 meters around the melon. Kristine had two chances in one try but still failed. Adele hitting the jackpot and we had a big melon to bring home.
