You can also enjoy to see the children wearing Japanese traditional kimono at Shine around Nov. 15.
It is the festival day for 7-year old girls, 5-year old boys and 3-year old girls so we call it Shichi-Go-San meaning seven-five-three.
Family members celebrate this festival by dressing up their children and visiting tutelary shrines in the neighborhood for wishing their children's health and happiness．
This celebration is believed to have begun during the Edo period in the Kanto area but it's
spread throughout the nation due to commercialization
