Do you want to experience the mesmerizing and fabulous festivals you never felt before? Well, Japan has it all. Prepare to be in awe with these Best Festivals of Japan that you will perfectly enjoy with your travel buddies!
Just a quick trivia, did you know that almost 200,000 local festivals are held annually in Japan? That’s amazing! These beautiful annual festivals, some of which have been observed for generations, are held throughout Japan. Festivals, or matsuri as they are often known, are steeped in history and give guests a taste of Japanese culture that isn’t typically available in museums.
The fact that many of Japan’s traditional festivals are meticulously kept traditions that have been handed down through the generations makes them all the more unique.
