So close!! I love the frog festival. It...Ohhhhh!! So close!! I love the frog festival. It's run by the vendors on that street so is not at all traditional or religious but just about having fun. Kinda refreshing sometimes!<br /><br />I think it's only once a year and the activities vary. We've been to one with a mini steam train going up and down the tracks. So cool!<br /><br />There are farmer's markets at every rest area along the highway here. Completely over priced though- give me your order and I'l send it down. :)<br /><br />Glad you got some froggy stuff. The significance is that kaeru is frog and return. So you'll be coming back to Matsumoto some day I guess. :)<br /><br />You had me laughing over the Iranian thing- Naganoites don't even support Japanese elections!shinshu lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06687535978619731812noreply@blogger.com
