It is one of the busiest holiday seasons in Japan in which trains, airports, and tourist spots get very crowded. Even accommodations are booked in advance for this week-long celebration.

Cherry Blossom Festival (Hanami)

The coronavirus outbreak happened just before spring and therefore, disappointed a lot of locals and tourists as the Cherry Blossom Festival or Hanami happens during this season. It is one of the most anticipated seasonal activities in Japan. The blooming colors of cherry blossom trees from parks and mountains give spectacular scenery to the place. A lot of tourists visit Japan during this season because of Hanami.

Other Seasonal Festivals

Cherry Blossom Festival every Spring is a known festival in Japan but aside from that, there are also other big seasonal festivals in Japan that might be less popular to tourist but is very big in Japan—the Winter Festivals and the Summer Festivals (Natsu Matsuri). These two festivals are mostly local-based where extravagant floats and street parades are featured and the streets are filled with crowd. Firework Festival is also one of the main highlights of both seasons. These festivals are anticipated every year but due to the ongoing pandemic, most summer festivals were canceled and upcoming winter festivals might be affected. But once the pandemic is over, these festivals will surely be as extravagant and amazing as ever.

Akihabara

Akihabara is a very well known district in Tokyo for its buzzing street filled with electronic retailers and different anime-themed shops. Due to the outbreak, the busy district that runs all day long has been empty. But once everything is back to normal, get ready to be hyped up and get busy in Akihabara’s crowd once again. Akihabara has a lot of shops, stalls, and cafes that visitors can go. As the otaku district of Japan, expect a lot of maid cafes and anime events nearby.
