Matsuri Childrens' Areas

During the 'matsuri' people often spend hours walking or standing as there are rituals in the religious ceremonies that can last hours, with children being the most sensitive to them. To try to make this as smooth as possible, in almost all the 'matsuris' there are stalls where they usually have to show off some skill, to get different prizes such as goldfish or rubber balls. Many of these games are very different to the ones we are used to in the West and it is great fun to see them.
