Many people will choose to travel to Japan, so what are the traditional festivals in Japan to travel to? This is a problem that many people care about. Let's take a look at the inventory of traditional festivals that cannot be missed in Japan (II). Welcome to reading.

I Kyoto, Gion Matsuri

Gion Festival is an annual festival held in Kyoto, Japan, and is considered as one of the largest and most famous festivals in Japan. The whole Garden Festival will last for one month, and a large-scale parade will be held on July 17. Each of the 29 districts in Kyoto will design a beautifully decorated sedan chair to participate in the parade.

Second, the fire sacrifice of Toda Temple in Nara

Dongda Temple is famous for its central giant Buddha, which is14m high and is one of the largest bronze sculptures in the world. On the balcony of the nearby February platform, at dusk, you can watch the fire sacrifice of Dongda Temple.

Although the temple hall is entirely made of wood, the monks of the temple will parade on the balcony of the temple with torches and then scatter the ashes to the people under the balcony. It is said that people who are splashed with ashes can be purified and protected.

Third, Japan's Kamakura Fireworks Festival, Kamakura

Kamakura Fireworks Festival is a traditional Japanese folk festival. Held in midsummer every year, it is the strangest fireworks festival in Japan. In all parts of the world, traditional fireworks are basically discharged directly from the land into the air, while in Japan, the fireworks discharged at the Kamakura Fireworks Festival are first put into the water and then watched on the water, which is unique.

On the night of the festival, thousands of people stood by the sea, waiting to see the wonders of the world. At this time, people who set off fireworks sat on several fast-moving ships and threw fireworks shells into the water on the sea in Kamakura. I saw a series of flames reaching a depth of 30 cm and then exploding quickly. Many colorful sparks immediately appeared on the water, and the largest "flower" was 250 meters high and 250 meters in diameter. The scene is very spectacular. In recent years, the Kamakura Fireworks Festival has attracted more and more domestic and foreign tourists to watch.

4. Sapporo Snow Festival, Sapporo

Sapporo Ice and Snow Festival is a traditional festival in Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan. It starts at 1950 and is held in the first week of February with the coldest and heaviest snow every year, lasting for 5 days until Sunday.

February 6th, 20 17, the Sapporo Ice and Snow Festival opened, and various famous buildings, celebrities, cartoon images and other snow sculpture made their debut. Various characters in Star Wars have also become giant snow sculpture to catch people's attention! The ice and snow festival will last for a week and it is estimated that there will be 2.5 million tourists.

Ryukyu Village is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, located in Naha, Japan, which is quite different from many other cities in Japan. Its cultural tradition is deeply influenced by China culture.

Sixth, the festival of the times, Kyoto

Time Festival is a parade held in 1895 (the 28th year of Meiji) to commemorate Emperor Kanmu's peaceful relocation of the capital to 1 100, imitating the custom of extending the calendar to Meiji 100 years.

The sacrifice was led by the team of Qin Wang's reform, accompanied by drums and flutes, and the journey was about 2000 kilometers, which in turn showed the style of the times dating back to Li Yan's era.

7. odori in Tokushima

Awa Odori is a Japanese dance, "Po" is the original name of Tokushima, and "Odori" is a dance. The origin of awa odori can be traced back to more than 400 years ago. Held from August 12 to August 15 every year. In awa odori, there are usually dozens of people dancing together in the street. Usually, men and women form a small group to dance in front with the rhythm of 2 beats, and the accompanist follows. Musical instruments are basically Sanweixian, Taigu, Giant Drum and Flute.

The origin of awa odori is not very clear, and it may be transformed from other religious forms of dance. Generally speaking, it was 1587. The main bee of Tokushima held a banquet in the city to celebrate the completion of Tokushima, and said to the gate, "Let's dance at will to celebrate the completion of Tokushima."
