Minami Koshigaya. Japan

Wow….. My first Awa Odori festival and I’m blow away with how much fun I had shooting last night! You almost need to have your head on a swivel to be able to catch everything.

Thousands of dancers and musicians take over a whole suburb with their amazing energy and routines for the weekend.

Using the new Sony a7rii for the first time and it was brilliant in the low light and AF for movement of the performers.

5/5 Excellent

"This property is cheaper than other similar hotels more centrally. The hotel itself is great. Staff are multilingual (English and Mandarin), rooms are large and clean as expected. The location isn’t the best but to be very honest this worked out well. We wanted a quieter area with easy access to the trains. The Shiomi station is a short walk and there isn’t a maze of underground tunnels to get through to get to your trains. It’s a few stops to central Tokyo or Disney. The area itself isn’t great-there’s a large supermarket (large for Japanese standards) which we used for breakfast and convenience stores nearby. There’s a cheap but good rice bowl restaurant nearby. I think this is a good combination of price, large rooms and easy access while giving up on the neighborhood and view (which we don’t care about). By no means is the area unsafe. It’s just not as hustling as Shibuya. "
