[21st] I went to the summer festival.　

This year, the summer festival will be held grandly in each region for the first time in a while, and I also participated.
Unfortunately, we couldn't participate in everything, but it was very impressive that all festivals were full of fun smiles and cheers as if we were waiting for it.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it was held for the first time in a long time, and in conjunction with the intense heat of this summer, I think that it was very difficult to prepare. I would like to express my sincere respect for the strong local love of everyone involved.

We were unable to hold local events for a long time, and there was concern that regional connections would be weakened, but through this summer festival, I realized the same depth of bond as before the COVID-19 pandemic.
I think the event will gradually resume in the future. I hope to deepen the bonds of the community and excite the Midori Ward with you.
Hot days are still going on. Please be careful about heat stroke.
Thank you very much for your good time.
