I mentioned Aso Shrine the other day when I was discussing the Kumamoto Earthquake and it made me reminiscent of that night’s festival. I don’t know how long it will take for them to be able to do this again with all the repair work that needs to be done at the shrine and around the city in general, so I wanted to give others a brief visual representation of what goes on at this particular event.

It’s really quite a good time if you’re able to go once the festival has reopened in the future. Everyone is able to just jump out there and swing some fire as they please, no liability form required!
