Last night's visit to Isezakicho 7-chome, the Ichi Roku Ennichi is held here between May and August on days containing 1 (ichi) and 6 (roku). There is a "child rearing jizo" here at a small shrine. Jizo statues are everywhere in Japan, here is a link explaining Jizo.
As usual, here are mostly pictures of food...

A brief video in front of the Jinja
I tried two kinds of okonomiyaki and takoyaki. The evening was slightly breezy, so the heat was bearable. It is too bad I will miss the big summer festival, in Yokohama they celebrate O-bon in August.
