Odaiba, one of the popular dating spots in Tokyo because of its romantic beach front, set a wonderful atmosphere last night by lighting wonderful paper lanterns with the help of volunteers. It was done to commemorate Sea Day. The place was able to create a romantic and relaxed atmosphere that was enjoyed by both locals and foreign visitors. While roaming around, you could enjoy listening to the music performed by local artists and was done in the middle of the area. It was pretty crowded last night but it was all good. It’s a fun experience for me.
How about you? Did you visit the place last night? Do you have any fun memories of Sea Day? Why don’t you share and comment below.
I’d like to share some of the photos I took last night, by the way.

Time flies. We’re now almost half-way through the year already. June is the 6th month of the year. The month of June was named after the Roman goddess name Juno, the goddess of marriage. During the ancient time, the best time to get married was in June because the marriage would be protected by Juno. However, things changed.
People across the globe do other special things and celebrate different occasions in June. How about in Japan? What do Japanese people do in June? How’s June like in Japan?
June has less events than any other month in Japan. Nevertheless, a handful of event can be found. Here’s the list.
Yosakoi Soran Festival

The Yosakoi Soran Festival is a Yosakoi dance festival featuring 300 teams and 30,000 dancers. Most of the teams are university and college teams that come from all over Japan to compete. Sapporo is on the northern island of Hokkaido and has no rainy season.
Sanno Festival
