Asagaya Tanabata matsuri: Report
Even though today was quite windy and rainy because of the typhoon that's currently over Japan (luckily it didn't come to Tokyo, it went over to Tohoku (the North-East)), we went to check out Tanabata matsuri in Asagaya!
We walked around checking out decorations while eating yakisoba, okonomiyaki, tacos, French crêpes, ice cream, etc.
Here are some pictures!

are the typhoons that hit tokyo usually pretty bad? i always look forward to the typhoons here as by the time they reach taipei they are pretty mild, and more importantly, i usually get the day off from work!

I wish we'd get the day off work. :)
The typhoons here seem to never hit Tokyo, they seem to come from the south, through the center of Japan and up to the northeast. Some cities get hit badly but the rest of Japan just gets heavy rain and winds.
Anyway that's as far as I can guess from my point of view since I live here. (My geography isn't too good either so don't quote me. :))
So far there were 3 dead, 3 missing and 52 injured (http://www.japantoday.com/e/?content=news&cat=1&id=269146).
