Japan’s summer season lights up with vibrant energy thanks to its many Japanese matsuri festivals!

Natsu matsuri (summer festivals) are a highlight that makes Japanese summers lively and cheerful. When people join these events, it’s easy to get swept up in the festive atmosphere, enjoy unique performances, and discover special cultural traditions.

Japan is famous worldwide for its larger-than-life idol groups. Groups of energetic young girls take to the stage in supremely colorful and stylish outfits, dancing and singing their hearts out. Idol culture has been huge in Japan for decades, with some artists acclaiming internationally.

Artists, fans, and cosplayers of anime, manga, and games all come together at Comiket!

For those who wish to get a perfect taste of Yokohama culture and excitement, the Noge Daidogei is an event that can’t be missed!  

Marine Day is the only national holiday in July, the hottest month in Japan. It’s a perfect day for people to enjoy fun and refreshing activities related to the sea!
