Japanese festivals
One can always find in the vicinity of a matsuri booths selling souvenirs and food such as
takoyaki, and games, such as Goldfish scooping. Karaoke contests, sumo matches, and other
forms of entertainment are often organized in conjunction with matsuri. If the festival is next
to a lake, renting a boat is also an attraction.
Favorite elements of the most popular matsuri, such as the Nada Kenka Matsuri of Himeji or
the Neputa Matsuri of Hirosaki, are often broadcast on television for the entire nation to
enjoy.
Some examples of famous matsuri are the Jidai, Hadaka Matsuri, Aoi and Gion Matsuri held
in Kyoto; Tenjin Matsuri in Osaka; and the Kanda Matsuri, Sann and Sanja Matsuri of
Tokyo. Especially, Gion Matsuri, Tenjin Matsuri, and Kanda Matsuri are the three most
famous matsuri in Japan.
