Explore Shizuoka – Atami Fireworks Festival
|
|
|---|
|
Summer in Japan is not complete without going to at least one fireworks festival. Dressing in Yukata, enjoying shaved ice or beer and eating watermelon and street vendor food such as yakitori, fried chicken or takoyaki is a Japanese tradition that almost represents summer as much as Cherry Blossoms in Spring. Throughout the summer months (July through late September) there are fireworks events throughout Shizuoka, with perhaps the most famous fireworks display being the Atami Fireworks Festival in August. In the Atami Onsen resort town, there are fireworks almost every week in August!. Learn More |

Kochi Prefecture – Outdoor Experiences in Shikoku |
|
|---|
|
Looking for off-the-beaten path destinations? Then, Kochi Prefecture on Shikoku island is the one! Shikoku is the least visited among the 4 main islands of Japan, and Kochi Prefecture which occupies the southern part of the island, boasts a lush natural landscape with the clear waters and mountains. There are various themed tours with outdoor activities offered by local DMCs: from learning yuzu village’s history and culture (as Kochi being the biggest producer of this citrus), following the clear river’s stream by climbing, cycling and SUP, or exploring the region by walking historical rural trails.
