Trip to Okutama

We would like to share how our students spent the summer vacation.
This is Part 1.

I visited Okutama on August 9th.
On my way to the destination, I dropped by Fussa Tanabata Festival, which I found totally different from Tanabata in China.

I enjoyed hiking in Okutama and saw a lot of foreigners there.
Okutama was like a countryside in Europe and I was impressed with the beauty of Okutama Lake. Next time I want to ride a boat there.

I walked for 2 hours to come back to Okutama station. I was surprised to know by the leaflet that Okutama Fireworks Festival would take place on that day. I saw a Japanese parade float (Dashi) for the first time. Although it was just a small local festival, I had a great time.
