What are temple fairs like in Japan?
Temple fairs are usually held during the Kasahara Festival. At the temple fair, you can see people dancing and stalls selling all kinds of food. But what are these dancers selling? Don't they know? The terrace in Japan is a small mobile food stall. These stalls usually sell pasta or other kinds of food. Yatai in Japanese can be literally translated as "booth". One of the main activities to participate in the temple fair is to go to different stalls to eat, drink and have fun. So when it comes to going to the temple fair, in fact, you are basically wandering between different booths in buy buy to buy food, drink and drink. The per capita consumption of a booth is between 400-500 yen, so it is best to make a rough budget for yourself before going to the temple fair!
