A summer night in Asahikawa, Hokkaido.
The air is filled with energy as a traditional Japanese festival comes alive.
Carrying the mikoshi (portable shrine), people move together through the night, guided by light, rhythm, and spirit.
This is more than a festival — it's a glimpse into a living culture, where community, tradition, and excitement blend into one unforgettable moment.
That night… the summer felt endless.
