As summer draws to an end, a bunch of matsuri ( festivals ) are taking place all over Japan. One place i would love to go for the yearly matsuri would be the one at Washinomiya Shrine. Now, you may be curious about the picture above. The huge wooden house-on-sticks is more accurately called a Shinyo, which is believed to be the house for gods. Lucky Star fans (like me) should be proud to know that this attraction increased the attendance to the festival to 50,000 people ( 20,000 more than last year).
