Festivals in Japan

Hello everyone,

What are the main festivals in Japan? Are there art, food, music, film, or other festivals expats can attend and participate in?

When do the festivals take place? How long does each festival usually last?

What activities go on during the festival? Is it necessary to buy tickets?

Are there any other events that take place in Japan that shouldn't be missed?

Thank you for sharing your experience.

One of the biggest ones in Tokyo (and Japan) is the Kanda Festival:

Usually, you don't need to buy tickets unless you want to sit on one of the special stands there are at some festivals.
