Hokkaido: Kushiro

It was evening by the time we arrived at Kushiro. It was with amazing help from my brother's friend that we managed to secure lodgings for that night. We could not book any room online and we didn't know why until our Japanese friend told us it was Kushiro Tairyo Donpaku.

Kushiro Tairyo Donpaku is a harvest and fishing festival held at the beginning of September every year. We managed to catch the array of food stalls in the night market and feast on beer and seafood. The whole port area where the festivities were held was like a big carnival. To top it off, fireworks displayed for what I gathered was more than an hour to end the night.
