All Reviews of Hinokuni Festival

We were lucky enough to catch Kumamoto’s liveliest annual summer event, the Hinokuni Festival! The entire Torichosuji shopping street was filled with a joyful, exciting festival atmosphere. Everyone wore distinctive costumes and danced the traditional “Sanba Ohafuka” to lively, energetic music. A huge blue mascot balloon also appeared to join the festivities, and the vibrant performances made it impossible not to clap along and have fun. It was definitely the most unforgettable cultural experience of a summer trip to Kumamoto!
