Tokyo Swan 8: Yagami Festival



In this episode, I went to the school's fall festival. I guess the best way to think about this, is that it is like the Japanese version of our Bronco Bash. There are many booths set up outside by various student groups, and they encourage other students to join clubs and activities. Unlike Bronco Bash, there are also quite a few booths with incredible food (at decent prices), so even if someone wasn't interested in getting involved on campus (which I would say is a wasteful move), then one would get a load of great food.

There was also a lot of live entertainment in the form of various bands and dancing groups. This was really cool, and a lot of the performers were actually quite good.

The other campuses of Keio also had festivals, but I enjoyed this Yagami one the best as this campus was a bit more spread out then the Mita campus where my classes were usually held. Also, this was just a quick 7 minute walk down the street from where my dorm was, so it was great to just walk a few minutes and then be engulfed in so much fun activity. It was a great time, and all of the delicious food was not to be missed!
