Japan is famous for its celebrations all year around.
Whether it’s a seasonal occurrence, cultural event, or a
holiday, foreigners can attend one of Japan’s many
festivals (matsuri) during every season. Depending on
when you plan to visit Japan, you can research and
include at least one Japanese celebration in your Japan
itinerary for a first-hand experience in Japanese culture.
Celebrate the new year in Japan, the most important
holiday of Japan, by visiting a temple, shrine, or having
a
bonenkai party (“year forgetting party”). During the
cherry
blossom season in spring, foreigners can attend one of
hundreds of cherry blossom festivals found all over
Japan. Summer in Japan means hot summer festivals
and colorful firework events, attracting thousands of
travelers every year. In autumn, visitors can enjoy
stunning autumn leaves festivals. Whatever the case
may be, there is always a celebration in Japan for
travelers to experience.
