Summer in Futtsu means festival season. From the Futtsu Port Festival in July to local neighborhood shrine festivals throughout August, the city comes alive with food stalls, games, and fireworks. While summer festivals have traditionally been a cash-only affair, more and more vendors in Futtsu are adopting cashless payments. Here is how to navigate the festival scene without cash.
