東北六魂祭 @ Aomori (Tohoku Rokkonsai)

Headed down to Aomori as there was a special festival called Tohoku Rokkonsai held on that day. This festival is held to unite the Tohoku people after the devastating Tsunami in 2011 which combined 6 major festivals in the 6 cities in Tokoku region. The festival will travel around different cities in Tokoku and this year was the final year ending in Aomori City. 

Did not take any pictures during the parade as we were standing behind the crowd and did not managed to take any good pictures. We went down with Kristi and Bao and by Coincidence met the rest of american firefighters that came in the group. The festival area was huge! We walked a long way to reach the parade area after eating at the stalls and its was really sheer luck to find them. 

Had dinner at my mother in law's house which she prepared all the delicious food and met Reagan for the first time!
