It's Hanabi season! Everyone dresses up in their Yukata (long gowns for men, a lighter style of kimono for women) and goes out to watch the fireworks, drink a beer and eat some food from the food stalls.

If you look carefully...

I went with H's family to lake Yamanaka where, apart from Hanabi we also enjoyed Christmas World, Doggy Park, a nice Ryokan and, of course, great views of Mount Fuji which is right near.
