・You can enjoy/see/hear...
=====================================

My first summer festival in Tokyo was amazing. Summer in Japan can be really hot but the great thing about that is the festivals. I attended a very big fireworks festival. The Sumida River is famous for its cherry blossoms and its fireworks festival. It was so crowded because it was the first festival in 3 years.
If you go early, you can get a good spot. You can enjoy kakigori if it's too hot or yakisoba, one of Japan's festival foods. I relaxed and enjoyed the loud booming sounds and colorful designs at the festival. I will never forget my first fireworks festival experience.
