The Nagasaki Kunchi is the most famous festival in Nagasaki. It began as a celebration of autumn harvests in the late 16th century and became a shrine festival when Suwa Shrine was founded in 1642. One of the most famous performances of the festival is the "Dragon Dance."
We were visiting Suwa when we came across the Dragon Dance by chance. We were pretty lucky to be able to watch the whole thing and then visit the shrine afterwards considering we stumbled upon it.
