| Festival Tours |
 |
Festivals are an important aspect of Japanese culture and can range from spiritual to celebratory.
Most festivals are held annually to honor a shrine's deity, a seasonal occurrence, or a historical event. Festivals can last several days.
Two important aspects of Japanese festivals are processions and floats. During religious celebrations, a local shrine's Shinto deity, or “kami,” is carried through the town on palanquins.
This is the only time of the year when a kami leaves the shrine. Festivals also often feature decorated floats, called “dashi,” which are pulled through the town and accompanied by live, traditional music.
Each festival has its own charms and can range from quiet and reflective to noisy and jubilant. |
