Aizuwakamatsu in Fukushima prefecture has a mystical quality I can't quite describe. The last stand for the samurai before the Meiji Era, this city houses multiple cultural sites: the gravesite of the Byakko-tai, a bukeyashiki samurai manor, and the reproduction of Tsuruga Castle.

In December each year high population density areas in the southern part of Saitama Prefecture attract even more people than usual with their active winter evening fairs. On 10th (regardless of the day of the week) Hikawa Shrine in Omiya holds Daitō-sai (lit. Great Hot Water Festival), on 12th Tsukinomiya Shrine in Urawa holds Juuninichi-machi (or locally pronounced as Juuninch-machi; lit. Twelfth Day Town) and Kawaguchi Shrine in Kawaguchi holds Okamé-ichi (lit. Round, Flat-Faced Woman's Fair). This footage shows the vicinity of JR Kawaguchi station. 毎年師走、埼玉縣南部の人口過密地帶は酉の市で活氣づく。曜日に關係なく、師走十日は大宮氷川神社の十日市、別名「大湯祭(だいたうさい)」。師走十二日は浦和調宮(つきのみや)神社の十二日まち。師走十五日は川口神社の十五日市、別名「おかめ市」である。此動畫はJR川口驛附近を映す。
