A night of the Hamamatsu Matsuri

The men make a triumphant return after the kite flying, that is performed on a seaside in the daytime. Over 80(!!) of gorgeous stalls from each town greet them through the main street in the city. Girls play "Ohayashi" on each stall to comfort the men. The atmosphere is flamboyant but comfortable.



Pulling a stall is performed also in each over 100 towns. The atmosphere is more solemn than that in the main street of the city. Solemn procession of a stall, spirited march and bugle play of men, drink in celebration. Those are going on until midnight.

Hi 英盛 san,

I think Gion Matsuri is the most sophisticated festival in Japan. It represent Japanese history and culture. I recommend you to see it some day.

The man are drinking rice wine, which is called "Omiki". Omiki means rice wine of the god. Drinking up the Omiki means thanks to the god.

Thank you Vincent!
Is it right to say that "The stall pulling is also performed in each of over 100 towns."?
I want to say "屋台引回しは100以上もあるそれぞれの町内でも行われる".
