【Tourist guide to Jinaimachi town, Tondabayashi, a historic district and heritage site of Japan,Travelogues by Author, Series Vol. 24 Jinaimachi summer street lantern festival】
August 30, 2014, Saturday
                  
Jinaimachi street lantern festival in Tondabayashi, Osaka Pref. has became an end of summer tradition.
It celebrated its 11th anniversaries this year on the day.

As summer sky was spread during the day, the temperature rised in excess of 30 degrees and it became extremely hot day. After I had finished taking some pictures at the former residence of Sugiyama family, an important cultural property of the country, I went to the venue of Jinaimachi street lantern festival. Banner flags standing here and there on both sides of the streets enlivened the mood of the festival.

Black clouds hanged over toward evening, the atmosphere became unstable for the time being, then there was a shower around 5:30 pm. By the time of lighting each lantern on the streets when it became dark, fortunately weather was restored, the town bagan to be crowred by visitors with their friends and families. Thanks to the shower, it became a little bit easier to relieve the heat.

Each lantern lined in a row on both sides of the street was lighted all at once and began to emit a light pale orange. I saw visitors who took pictures of lanterns as close to the lens and I saw many dressed in Yukata with a fan in hand here and there. Fantastic scene of pale light was emerged at the precinct leading to the main hall from the main gate of Koushouji Betsuin Temple which has been now designated as an important cultural property of the country this year.

The Jinaimachi annual event had reached its climax, as you regret the summer to go. In each person's memory, a fantastic scene will be kept as a recollection of this summer. I thank you very much for many visitors came to the town on this occasion. I apprecaited sincere efforts to make the event successful by the parties concerned.
