烟火、美食、跳舞、音乐以及各样奇特事物，没有什么比日本的祭典更有趣的了。全年之中，每个不同的城市都有其独特的祭典活动，主题包括祝福、感恩、传统文化及社群团体。如果你在日本停留的时间短暂，参加祭典将会是体验真正日本文化的最佳方式之一。以下是一些建议。

秩父夜祭
位于埼玉县西部的秩父，离东京市中心大约2小时，是一个规模不大但非常喜欢聚会的小镇。这里全年都有许多祭典举行，但最著名的是秩父夜祭。这个祭典于每年12月2日至3日举行，大型照明花车会沿着主要街道行进并登上俯瞰市政厅的斜坡，活动将以最后一晚超过2小时的巨型烟火表演收尾。

修正鬼会

修正鬼會
对于那些不介意绕路的人而言，于大分县国东半岛举办的修正鬼会非常值得前往。这个祭典每年2月在天念寺举办，据说其历史可以追溯至1千多年以前。作为在新的一年祈求丰收的活动，祭典的仪式包括在冰冷的河水中游泳以及巨型篝火。祭典最后的仪式是整个活动的高潮，两个鬼将以城市中的主要神社为中心绕境，一边敲打火炬一边散布燃烧的灰烬。与其它祭典相较虽然略为危险，但只要能平安度过考验，你将会迎来美好的一年。

川越祭

川越祭
川越也被称为小江户（江户为东京旧名），距离东京池袋仅30分钟火车车程，但仿若与繁华都市的炫目街灯及摩天大楼有几世纪之遥。它以其作为许多和果子（传统日式甜点）和历史仓库的所在地而闻名，同时也是日本最佳秋季祭典之一的举办场所。川越祭在每年10月的第3个周六和周日举行，其历史可以追溯到17世纪中叶。如今这个令人目不暇给的祭典中，充满着吸引人驻足欣赏的美丽花车、现场太鼓表演以及许许多多的美食摊贩。

福岛草鞋祭

福島草鞋祭
日本最有趣的祭典之一即为福岛草鞋祭，也被称为草鞋节。草鞋曾经是日本传统日常穿着用品之一。自1970年以来，这个祭典都在每年8月的第1个周五和周六于福岛市举行。祭典分为两部分，上半场为传统风格的祭典，会有巨大的凉鞋在主要街道上游行；下半场则以Dancing Soda Night活动为中心，数十个打扮各异的团队将随着相同音乐表演不同风格的现代舞蹈，包括嘻哈、肚皮舞、街舞以及任何其他风格。

青森睡魔祭
![青森睡魔祭]()
青森睡魔祭
从8月2日至7日占领青森市的，是所有祭典中最丰富多彩的青森睡魔祭。这是一场大规模的游行活动，每年吸引约300万名游客。这个拥有300年历史的夏季祭典的精髓，是穿行于城市街道的高耸纸花车。这些花车看来仿佛有生命的巨大画作，是由当地工匠和志愿者手工制作，部分参与者甚至耗时数月以制作这些名为睡魔的庞大纸质雕塑。光是看照片已相当惊人，实际亲眼目睹更是另一个层次的体验。

Gujo Odori
![Gujo Odori]()
Gujo Odori
An odori matsuri is a common traditional bon dance festival held throughout the country, but one of the best is the Gujo Odori held in Gujo, Gifu. During the rest of the year Gujo is a sleepy town, but between August 13th to 16th it transforms into a dance extravaganza, featuring teams in colorful costumes who dance throughout the day and night in celebration of summer, social cohesion, and to pay respect to those who have passed. Mid-August is the main event, but technically the party lasts thirty- three nights, running from the middle of July to early September, so there's no excuse not to go and see it.

Asakusa Sanja Matsuri

Asakusa Sanja Matsuri
Sensoji, Tokyo's most famous temple is home to an inner-city festival quite unlike any other. Known as one of the '3 great Shinto festivals in Tokyo' alongside the Kanda and Sanno festivals, it takes place during the third weekend of May. The celebrations feature around one hundred mikoshi (portable shrines) and attract roughly one and a half million visitors between Friday to Sunday. The festival climax is on the last night when the temple's own mikoshi is taken around the neighborhood before being welcomed back home, guided by a wave of glowing orange lanterns and live dancing, music, and singing.

Akita Kanto Matsuri
![Akita Kanto Matsuri]()
Akita Kanto Matsuri
Held over four days in early August every year, the Akita Kanto Matsuri is without a doubt one of the most spectacular summer events in northern Japan. Part of the nation's Tanabata celebrations, the festival's main drawcards are the giant bamboo poles that are decorated with dozens of candle-lit paper lanterns and balanced precariously on the bodies of masterful local performers. While the gravity-defying acts of the performers are the main show, there's plenty to be seen around the festival grounds too, with countless food stalls selling delicious local festival snacks.

Nagahama Hikiyama Matsuri
![Nagahama Hikiyama Matsuri]()
Nagahama Hikiyama Matsuri
Known as the crown jewel of Nagahama City, the Hikiyama Matsuri is an annual mid-April celebration of spring, theatre, and traditional Japanese culture. During the festival, meticulously decorated floats known as hikiyama, become portable moving theaters, adorned with lanterns, animal sculptures, and tapestries unique to each group performing on the stage. The feature of the celebration is the child-actors who take part kabuki plays traditionally reserved for adults. These prodigies dedicate months of their young lives to practicing and perfecting their shows before performing to the adoring crowds.
