Hyakudan-kaidan' (one hundred steps) is a wooden architecture and a tangible cultural property of Tokyo. It was built in the beginning of Showa era as a banquet room. The interiors of the seven Japanese rooms are worth seeing! During summer, the collaboration exhibition with lights like Japanese festivals and artistic lights wins popularity. Some people wear yukata, summer kimono, and enjoy it.

Photos taken on July 6th. The annual summer event 'Enmusubi Furin'. I wore Yukata, and came to Kawagoe on the first day of this event. Waking around the path of wind bells, and feeling the comfortable winds, I felt refreshed so much, though the weather forecast was rainy. You can see the beautiful scenery of green leaves and colorful wind bells.
