The biggest festival in Kumamoto!




I dont know how to express my impression of the HI NO KUNI NO MATSURI ( The festival of Fire country ) now. I didnt think there would be so many people in Kumamoto like this. I was really impressed. Really perfect!
Dear Adeel!

Hinokuni Matsuri is the largest festival in the city,thousands of citizens dance along the main street. Lasting for three days in the heat of the summer, from August 11th through the 13th, the Hinokuni Festival electrifies Kumamoto night skies. Celebrating the folklore and history of Kumamoto as a "land of fire", the colorful rythmic Otemoyan Grand Dance winds through the streets of the downtown area in a flood of light. On the following day, the festival comes to a spectacular close as the summer skies come alive with a grand firewords display over Lake Ezu. I love this place very much ^-^
