This young woman is working at the Momotaro, or 'peach boy' festival in Okayama prefecture, promoting tourism to her home prefecture of Kumamoto.
Her sash translates in English as "Kumamoto - country of fire - campaign girl".
Country of fire, because Kumamoto prefecture is home to Mt. Aso, one of Japan's biggest active volcanoes.
