Christmas and a street food in Japan

defiantly here, even in Japan, a country that consists mostly of Shinto and Buddhism. They decorated blue street really nicely. This is located just down from the base and is a popular place to hang out and grab a bite to eat among the people of the base.

Here is the huge Christmas tree they had near the Yokosuka-chuo train station.
This picture doesn't show it too well, but all the trees are lit up.

 A festival that is going on currently. I doubt its for Christmas but I thought I would add it in since it was going on at the same time. All the people on the right are in a huge line for a street cart around the corner!
 Rows and rows of street carts
 Chocolate dipped bananas. They have lots of different toppings to put on them.

 This lady was a crack up because when someone wasn't fishing for bouncy balls she was smoking it up.
 Yakitori! Meat on a stick. At this stand they had a lot of chicken livers and some other unrecognizable things.
 Tons of suckers shaped into different popular characters.
 Savory Pancakes. There is a batter that is cook and then lettuce and a meat and an egg are placed on top. You can add sauce to taste.
 These little balls are filled with taco...that's octopus in Japanese... and rolled in a special cook top to form the ball. Very popular here.
 The pan of the good stuff
 Another fishing stand.
 Japanese hot dogs. They are on a stick and with out bread. They also are made of good/real meat and have natural casings.
This was awesome, and something I haven't seen here before. These street performers were playing and singing Christmas standards. It defiantly brought a twinkle to my eye.

Happy Holidays!
