IWAKUNI CITY, Japan - Local Japanese residents dress U.S. Marines from Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni in kimonos in Iwakuni City, Japan, April 29, 2019. The service members and local Japanese residents dressed up in kimonos to participate in the Daimyo Procession Kimono Costume Parade, an attraction during the 42nd Annual Kintaikyo Bridge Festival. Originally held as a religious service when the Jyoshu, or Iwakuni castle lord, came to greet the townspeople, the event is presently a tourist attraction that draws an estimated 40,000 people annually.
