hey, guys, the annual Japan Fest will again be held at Stone Mountain park on September 23-24. they have a dizzying schedule of events lined up including Candy Sculpting and Bonsai Basics. if anything else, go for the food. Sakana-Ya restaurant was the mainstay restaurant a couple of years ago but has since been replaced by Haru Ichiban which is, in my opinion, the best authentic Japanese restaurant in Atlanta.
