Awa Odori in Shimokitazawa / シモキタの阿波踊り [Life]
東京・下北沢で毎年この時期になると開催される「阿波おどり」。
阿波踊りと言えば徳島県のそれが最も有名ですが、東京・高円寺に続き、街の活性化に一役買っている馴染みのイベントです。
The Awa Dance Festival in Shimokitazawa, Tokyo is held at this time of every year.
It is said that the "Awa Odori (阿波踊り=Awa Dance Festival)" is the most famous in Tokushima Prefecture, but in Tokyo, it is a familiar festival as well as in Koenji, well-known as Awaodori town.

残念ながらじっくりと見ることができなかったのですが、今年も大変な人出で賑わっていました。
早いもので、これが終わると秋はもうすぐそこです。
Though I couldn't see this year's festival well regrettably, it seemed to be crowded with many people.
When this festival has ended, the autumn will come soon.
