Shaved ice or 'kakigohri' is especially famous in Japan's hot and humid summer and you can find any flavour at all the festivals.
Mt. Fuji Taiko Drum Festival
This weekend was the Mt. Fuji Taiko Drum Festival. Teams from all over Japan come to Mt. Fuji to play Taiko drums in a weekend long competition. No idea what they're judged on but there's a bit of money and some drums as prizes. The committee that organize it have created this massive Taiko drum which I think is one of the biggest ones you can find around the place. The sound of it is incredible.
