Fukushima Waraji Festival ｜ Japan Travel Guide

#festival #fukushima #thingstodoinjapan #fukushima #warajifestival #festival#thingstodoinjapan Named after the traditional 'waraij' straw sandals, Fukushima's annual festival to mark the summer kicks off in early August. While you therefore understandably might see a lot of straw sandals on display, the centrepiece is the 12 m long, 2 ton giant version hoisted down the street to mark the parade's opening.
