Photos Unique to Festivals
In the extraordinary atmosphere of a festival, our spirits are lifted. Here, we introduce photos that can only be taken at festivals, categorized by situation.
Irresistible Ramune
Summer festivals are hot, and staying hydrated is essential. For adults, a cold beer on a hot summer night might be the best, but regardless of age, Ramune is the drink that comes to mind when thinking of festivals.
The unique bottle shape and the marble that can't be removed no matter how hard you try captivate the child in us, making the sweet soda inside irresistible.

Vibrant Food Stalls
The charm of festivals often lies in the many food stalls. From classic yakisoba and tamasen to sweet treats like candy apples and chocolate bananas, there's something for everyone.
Not just food, but games like goldfish scooping, prize lotteries, and shooting galleries are all part of the stall experience.
These are unique to summer festivals, offering experiences you wouldn't normally have, surely making your heart dance with excitement.

Fireworks: The Main Event
At large summer festivals, the main event is often fireworks.
The powerful sound and spectacle capture your gaze, and the beautifully launched fireworks disappear in an instant. Fireworks embody a fleeting beauty that is quintessentially Japanese, making them a must-capture in photographs.

Craftsmen Preserving Tradition
In historical festivals, there are craftsmen who have preserved traditions over many years. They may not often be in the spotlight, but without their efforts, these traditions could not continue.
While advancing with the times is wonderful, there is meaning in creating festivals using traditional methods, which can be felt from the backs of these craftsmen.
