What large-scale activities are there in Japan?

The new year is coming. Have you planned where to travel? In fact, there will be many interesting activities in Japan next year, and everyone can participate. Let's find out what activities are there today! We can also plan when to travel by ourselves!

1 to June

In addition to the cherry blossoms in June and June, there are the local Japanese Yokohama Strawberry Festival and Sapporo Snow Festival, as well as the national Daughter's Day, which is very suitable for tourists.

Yokohama Strawberry Festival (February1-February 1 1)

Strawberry is one of Japanese favorite fruits. Every year when strawberries are on the market, the red brick warehouse in Yokohama will hold the "Strawberry Festival" as scheduled. All kinds of desserts and department stores made of strawberries can definitely be eaten by people.

Sapporo Snow Festival (February 4-February 1 1)

Sapporo Snow Festival is held from the first Friday to Sunday in February every year. It is the biggest activity in Hokkaido, and it is as famous in China as Harbin Ice Sculpture Festival. During the snow festival, spectacular ice sculptures will cover the whole Sapporo. Interestingly, the Snow Festival in the New Year coincides with the Lantern Festival in China, with three locations: Datong, Boye and Kinmen.

Daughter's Day (March 3rd)

Daughter's Day is one of the most important national festivals in Japan, which is characterized by rows of dolls from the emperor and empress to maids and bands. In the Bimai Shrine in Kyoto, there will be special actors playing dolls, and musicians will sit on the doll altar and play music to drive away bad luck for girls. It is said that there will be super-large-scale doll exhibitions in Wudao Prefecture and Chiba Prefecture.

Cherry Blossom Festival (March1May-April 15)

Cherry Blossom Festival is the most familiar and favorite time for Japanese tourists in China. Except that the cherry blossoms in Okinawa and other places will appear in advance at the end of 1, the best cherry blossom viewing period in most areas is at the end of March.

Boys' Day (May 5th)

May 5th of the Japanese Gregorian calendar is both Dragon Boat Festival and Boys' Day. On this day, besides hanging calamus, eating zongzi and putting a samurai puppet "Mayman" at home, it is absolutely rare to see thousands of carp flags flying in the wind.

Kanda Festival (May 16)

Kanda Festival is one of the "three major festivals in Japan" and the most famous summer festival in Tokyo. It was born to celebrate the "Battle of the Official Garden". On this day, Kanda Society held a grand parade. People will carry sedan chairs through the core area of Tokyo, and the whole city will be jubilant. Unfortunately, the scale of Kanda Festival has always been larger in odd years than even years, so the Kanda Festival in 2008 is naturally not as good as that in 2008.

From July 20 10 to July 20 10, Japanese people attached great importance to summer festivals, the most important of which were China Valentine's Day and fireworks display. In my life, I have to go to Japan to watch the fireworks show.

July to 65438+ February

In Japan, Tanabata is not "Valentine's Day". Except for large-scale festivals in Sendai, Hirazuka and Shimamiya, residents in most cities such as Tokyo will write down their wishes with long colored paper strips, and the station will tie them to posts with bamboo strips to let people hang their wishes.

Valentine's Day in China (July 7th)

Gion matsuri is one of the most influential grand events in Kyoto, and it is a ceremony for Sakaguchi Shrine to pray for expelling the plague. People will hang colored lights on the first day and hold a large harpoon float parade on the second day. This day's activity is called "Mountain Patrol", which is a pre-sacrifice to the gods. The festival on July 24th is called "Flower Umbrella Tour", which is a geisha tour with local characteristics.

Tanyuan Songli (July 65438 +06-July 29)

Heling Festival is a local activity in Haneda Island, Ehime Prefecture. "Heling" is also the name of a shrine. On July 24th, there will be an activity called "Sprint" to lift the sedan chair. People hold torches, carry sedan chairs on their shoulders in the dark river to Heling Shrine, and then climb bamboo poles to win the charm of God. During the day, there will be another interesting Halloween parade in the local area.

Sacrifice for harmony (July 22-July 24)

Tenjin Matsuri is also one of the "three major Japanese festivals". On this day, when you come to Osaka, there will be special performances in the famous Tianman Palace, such as "Wandering Soul", "Running over Taigu" and "Lion Dance". When you come to Tianman Bridge, you can also see the water celebrations that have been circulating for thousands of years. More than 3,000 people dressed in heian period costumes boarded the ship to perform. As the finale of the event, the fireworks show in Tianjin is also quite spectacular.

Speaking of fireworks display, Wu Xiong-Sichuan Daqu Fireworks Festival and Nagaoka Fireworks Festival are held every August, which are called "the three major fireworks conferences in Japan". In Tokyo, from the end of July to the beginning of August, the Tokyo Bay Fireworks Festival, the Lany Fireworks Festival and the Jingu Outer Garden Fireworks Festival will be held one after another.

Tenjin Matsuri (24-25 July)

Sandman Festival is a local festival, among which the float and lantern parade of Aomori Sandman Festival is the most interesting. People are walking in the street with huge lanterns in the shape of Japanese samurai on their shoulders. People cheered with the sound of flutes and drums.

Sandman Festival (August 2-August 7)

On this day, people will arrange long bamboo poles in a cross and hang 46 lanterns. With the sound of gongs and drums, the young people in the parade will constantly change their pole-lifting posture, some with their palms, some with their shoulders, and some even with their heads. You know, these light poles weigh dozens of pounds every turn.

Lantern Festival (August 3-August 6)

Aomori Sandman Festival, Akita Lantern Festival and Sendai Tanabata Festival are the three biggest festivals in northeast Japan. On the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, except sedan chairs and floats, the whole city of Sendai will be decorated with unique Qixi bamboo ornaments. On the day before Tanabata, the city will set off fireworks to warm up the festival.

Although there are many festivals in Japan similar to those in China, most of them are held in the solar calendar, and the "three major festivals" in Northeast China are one of the few festivals held in the lunar calendar.

Chinese Valentine's Day (6 August -8 August)

If you like anime, don't miss the Pikachu Festival in Yokohama in August. During the event, Baokemeng will be all over the city, and Pikachu, Ibrahimovic Parade, Pikachu Water Spraying Conference and Water Parade will definitely "bleed".

Pikachu Festival (August 10)

Fireworks are Japan's "Summer Night Landscape Poetry". By the end of August, most of the fireworks competitions were over, so the National Fireworks Competition Conference in Tupu became the last of the "Three Major Fireworks Conferences in Japan", which coincided with the National Day holiday of China people. If office workers want to see Japanese fireworks, don't miss it.

Tupu National Fireworks Competition Conference (65438+10.3)

Era Festival is the anniversary of Japan's move to the capital. On this day, people will start from the Peace Shrine, and the team of more than 2,000 people will slowly arrive at Kyoto Palace in traditional costumes of various periods and classes. After watching this parade, we can have a deep understanding of the changes of Japanese dynasties and costumes.

Even if these small series organize some wonderful activities in Japan next year, you can choose what you like to participate in. I believe you will be very substantial!
