A few images from a local Warabi festival celebrating the history of the Nakasendo Highway which passes through here. We got there too late and so I didn’t get any photos of the folks dressed up in Edo-era costumes. I did get samba dancers, an okonomiyaki vendor, and a politician. Guess which of the three wasn’t around in the Edo era?
