The highlights of the festivals are parades in which people carry portable shrines and pull floats. Famous festivals include the Jidai Matsuri in Kyoto and the Kanda Matsuri in Tokyo, where traditional costumes, musical instruments, and dances are on display. For travelers, they are a great opportunity to experience local culture. As a seasonal feature of autumn, these events allow you to feel the Japanese atmosphere.
