Yesterday I ventured out to Hon-Atsugi to attend another outdoor club event. We did a short hike through leech-infested woods (no joke), played frisbee, and saw some massive wooden dragons burned.
First, we had a short hike, and ate lunch and hung out by a small river.
Some leeches try to get my blood.
Part of the river, with a small bridge.
A small field. We played frisbee down there.After the hike, we started to head bike towards where the festival would be held, but still had lots of time, so we ate some more, did some souvenir shopping, and played frisbee.
Finally, the festival was getting under way. There were some speeches, some songs, dances, festival food and games, and taiko drums.
At long last, the set the dragons on fire, and as they burned down, they set off some fireworks.

The last moments of the two dragons.Cheers,
