Shinagawa Festival, Sunday 30 September

A few of us were lucky enough to be in Tokyo on Sunday for the annual Shinagawa Festival.
Joining the Japanese stall holders were two Kiwis (Jono & Asher in disguise) helping their host mother and her English class to sell biscuits!
The Shinagawa Mayor stopped in the middle of the parade to say konnichi wa to the Auckland visitors in the middle of the parade.
Some if us then went on to have a go at fire walking! For others it was already too hot a day to even contemplate 'walking on fire'!
