very year around this time, the Morioka Autumn Festival takes place, and beautifully decorated floats parade through the streets of the city.
The floats happened to pass right in front of our school, so all the students went outside to watch them together 😊

For many of our students, it was their first time seeing a festival float. They were fascinated and excited, saying, “Amazing!” and “It’s so big!” 📸
Some students took photos, while others moved along to the traditional festival music and lively chants. Everyone enjoyed the experience in their own way 🎶

Being able to see and experience Morioka’s traditional festival firsthand was a valuable and memorable experience for our students.
Let’s continue to discover and experience many different aspects of Japanese culture through our daily life and studies in Japan! ✨
