Minami Koshigaya. Japan

Wow….. My first Awa Odori festival and I’m blow away with how much fun I had shooting last night! You almost need to have your head on a swivel to be able to catch everything.

Thousands of dancers and musicians take over a whole suburb with their amazing energy and routines for the weekend.

Using the new Sony a7rii for the first time and it was brilliant in the low light and AF for movement of the performers.

"Fantastic hotel experience. Many wonderful touches and gestures that made a memorable traditional feeling stay. Rooms and bathrooms exceptional. Service a little out of touch with international high end hotel norms and protocols, but overall highly recommended. "

"I loved the traditional ryokan and the experience of the public baths! Our traditional room was so nice, and I loved the complimentary green tea and snacks! The staff was so welcoming and I loved the music playing in the hallways! It was a great experience and I highly recommend!"

"歴史を物語る建物、趣向を凝らした内装、可愛らしいタイルばりのお風呂、トイレなど、一泊ではありましたがのんびりと満喫させていただきました。お部屋色の朝ご飯も素敵でした。スタッフの皆さんにも、大変気持ちよく接していただきました。後日友人に話したところ、急遽別の館に泊まったそうでこちらも大層評判でした。今まで泊まれる事を知らずにいましたが、たまたま友人のSNSで知りました。都内在住でこんなに素敵な場所があるとは、もっと早く気づけばと思い、悔やんでおります。コロナ禍で一時休業と伺いましたが、再開の折にはまた伺えるのを心待ちにしております"
