Sawara 佐原 e' un piccolo villaggio nella prefettura di Chiba. Le sue strade si presentano come 200 anni fa nel periodo Edo e c'e' l'usanza di dire "Se vuoi vedere Edo, perche' non visiti Sawara?"
La citta' e' molto famosa per il Sawara Matsuri Festival, 2 volte all'anno (Meta' Luglio e meta' Ottobre) dove sfilano carri su due ruote sormontati da raffigurazioni mitologiche giapponesi ed eroi. Una bella esperienza!

Sawara (佐原) is a small town in the northwest portion of Chiba Prefecture. People used to say: "If you want to see Edo, why don't you visit Sawara?" Sawara streets remain as they were 200 years ago in the Edo Period.  The town is very famous for Sawara Matsuri Festival, where floats topped by giant dolls, representing mythological Japanese warriors and heroes, are wheeled through the streets. The festival is held twice yearly in July and October. Very good experience!!
