Matsuri Itinerary

Matsuri (festivals) are held up and down the country throughout summer. These events are an exciting way to immerse yourself in Japanese traditions. They typically involve traditional dress, music, dancing and processions,
as well as street food.

Some festivals are more sombre and spiritual, such as the Eheiji Floating Lantern Festival, whilst others are lively and bright, such as the Aomori Nebuta Festival. From the weird to the wonderful, there is a matsuri for everyone. Let us plan your Japan itinerary around these spectacular summer events.
