Tokyo Guide

Japanese traditional festivals, known as matsuri in Japanese, are an important part of Japanese culture, and often lots of fun to join and see. In Tokyo, matsuri take place all year round, meaning you can usually find at least one festival in any given month. Japanese festivals are often marked by parades, food and game booths, and huge crowds of people. Matsuri are enormously popular in Japan, and its rare to find a small, quiet festival in Tokyo.
