Matsuri Photos from Sept 10th

After work I was able to catch the last of the proceedings down by the Marina where all of the portable shrines (Omikoshi) gathered. Respect to all these local guys and girls as they have been parading them through the streets of their neighborhoods in sunny, 30 degree plus weather all day and these things weigh a ton!
