Stand quietly in a park on a frosty night while temple bells ring in the New Year. Take a turn pounding mochi. Cheer for your favorite kendo fighter, or picnic under blooming cherry trees. Join a circle of dancers celebrating the spirits of the dead. Throw beans to chase away evil spirits and bring good luck or follow a noisy temple procession.
In Japan, people cherish their long history and their shared traditions. At any time of year, there's something to celebrate. Festivals honor nature, ancestors, children, and ancient beliefs. There are holidays to honor modern times, and others to contemplate the past. Join in! You will surely be welcome!
