Undaunted by the current state of the dollar, John and Kate are planning to visit Japan this summer.
"We were thinking to go and see the big 'matsuri' festival of giant floats in northern Japan. But now we're told there are two. If this is true, which is the better bet to go and see?"
There are two festivals in August, both in Tohoku, but one is called Nebuta, the other Neputa. Easy to see why it might be confusing!
