Nagasaki Kunchi Festival

Every year from 07th~09th of October in Nagasaki, there is traditional festival called "Nagasaki Kunchi". This festival is held at Sugamo shrine during the autumn festival season which is a very historical event which have continued over 300 years.

Every region within the Nagasaki city will dedicate a unique dance like the ones in the bottom photograph. The festival symbolizes Nagasaki, which had connections with foreign countries from long time ago.

I hope you can come to next year "KUNCHI". See you then!
