This blogger is wonderful about sharing Japanese holidays as they come. Please follow Tokyo Five to get all the good information on the very interesting holidays and events in Japan!
Last Sunday (November 3rd) was the Japanese holiday 「文化の日」 (Culture Day).
On this day, the Emperor of Japan presents awards to people who have contributed to Japanese culture. And there are also many “culture related” festivals on this day, such as 「流鏑馬」 (Horseback Archery) shows and 「時代祭り」 (Era Festivals).
The 「東京時代祭り」 (Tokyo-era Festival) is in 浅草 (Asakusa, Tokyo) every year on November 3rd from about 1:00-4:00PM.
We didn’t go to a festival on Culture Day this year because we’ve gone to them a few times before.
Click here to read my post that I wrote after I went to this festival five years ago. It has photos and videos.
