These celebrations feature mikoshi (portable shrines), dashi (festival floats), yatai (food stalls), kagura (Shinto music and dance), shishimai (lion dances), and more.Visiting seasonal festivals and enjoying local delicacies ? from street foods at yatai to regional dishes unique to each area ? is one of the true pleasures of Japan’s festival culture. Why not plan your next trip around one of these vibrant local festivals?
