Speaking of the colour of green, one of my most interesting experience during Fall 2007 in Niigata was attending the Firewalking Festival held at Hakkaisan shrine. It is based on the shinto religion and the locals basically pray for good harvest.Most of the students attended the festival as the university provided free transportation to the Festival site. Besides the firewalking ceremony, the festivals also consisted of rows of stalls selling food, drinks and snacks and i ate my first taiyaki here.
