If you come to Japan, by all means please experience “Japan.” And you don’t need to know much about it beforehand. Let “Things to do” help you with that. For example, if you want to experience the spirit of Japan and fresh new experiences, then festivals are for you. In every part of Japan and in each season there are festivals or all sorts, ranging from the energy-charged to subtle and refined – whatever you seek. Then after the festival you can relax by soaking in a hot spring. And thus refreshed, why not try the tea ceremony? Noted for being a philosophical art form, you just might discover a new self. If you would prefer something more action-packed, then try one of the many theme parks, sporting events, or going shopping. Whatever your pleasure, the time you spend in Japan will certainly be unforgettable.
