This weekend was Kabe Koko's Bunkasai, or in English, culture festival. Pronounced boon-ka-sai.

Hello everyone and welcome to my travel blog! Travel is my passion in life and I try to do it as much as I possibly can. I was once asked why I enjoy traveling.

This blog started as a way to record my travels while teaching in Japan, and well, I kinda started liking to do it so will continue along my travels.

Can anybody go to these festivals? I really want to go to a high school one just for the experience, but I'm afraid that I will be too old (my parents say I can go when I'm 18, lol), or because I don't go to the school, that I won't be able to participate. I really want to be a foreign exchange student there. It would be fantastic!

sorry for late response....unless you knew someone at the school (like the English Teacher) I think it would be really hard to go and participate just for safety reasons. But good luck if you try!
