Here are two more Light Festivals in Japan.

Otsukimi (Tsukimi) or Moon Viewing

Ttsukimi ( if you like polite word, Otsukimi) is not a festival but a traditional
event we enjoy with family members.

Christmas Lights in Yebisu Garden Place


This is not a Festival but very beautiful. I took this picture yesterday.



Yebisu Garden Place is one of the best shopping mall in tokyo. It is about 15 minutes walk from our school.

How to get to the school

Get a Map of Tokyo ok? Please find the Yamanote-Line first. It runs like a circle.
You will find a station named Yebisu in the loop of Yamanote Line.

Then you'll go in the Map here.

Find the Yebisu Station and Yebisu Gaden Place on this map.
There is a road going up with some bus stops named "Yebisu X-choume".
Just keep going to the same direction. You are out of your screen now! OK OK Just keep
walking. After 10 minutes or so you will be at the edge of the BOX of your Monitor.
Now, you should ask someone "Shinnno- Shougakko Doko Desuka?"

>>>>>> Shinno Primary School is Just Aroud There!!!!
