Hanabi Season 2010 has begun!

Hanabi is the Japanese word for fireworks. The firework festival season is a very fun and special time in Japan.

Millions of people attend the different firework shows around the country, dressed in traditional Yukata and eating traditional foods.

This year, I got to enjoy two shows from the balcony of my new place:

On clear nights, I can even see the Tokyo Disney Land fireworks show -so pretty!

    Your new place must be really special and high up ^-^.
    I watched a hanabi in Yokohama – on a blanket on the street! It was wonderful nevertheless.

      It’s definitely much higher than my last place! I’ve never seen the Yokohama ones, but I love going there anytime -so much quieter and open than Tokyo!
