Summer festivals

Tokyo is a horribly humid and hot place to be during this time, but there can be one thing worth the visit: festivals and fireworks. Festivals are held in different scales but any neighborhood has one. People dress in Yukata – a summer Kimono made of linen or cotton – and wear sandals. If you live in an old neighborhood, you might even come across with locals dance they practiced for the day. Fireworks often involve competitions between different firework makers, and it is not seldom to see millions of them blooming in the sky on a single night.

Daytime is unbearable but in the evenings, can be nice with a light wind and so much excitement in the air.
