CORRECTION: In this vid I make reference and wrote "ichi go san"....it should be "shichi go san." OOooppss....sorry bout that :)

Been awhile since I made a video with some beer! Some folks have noticed and I've risen to the occasion. 

I was in Himeji yesterday looking at Himeji Castle. While shopping for souvenirs, I took a quick Asahi break. I also added some footage from last weekend. I was at Sumiyoshi Taisha in Osaka. They were having their Shichi Go San festival. It's a festival where people bring their children, aged 7, 5 and 3 to local shrines to be blessed.

(According to what I've read, the ages 3, 5 and 7 are important phases in a child's growth, therefore, people pray for their child's healthy growth at these ages.)
