Furusato Matsuri

No time to visit all of Japan’s festivals? No problem. This 10-day annual extravaganza showcases smaller-scale versions of the country’s different matsuri in one place at Tokyo Dome. Apart from cultural performances like those from the famous Nebuta Matsuri from Aomori Prefecture, 300 food companies from Hokkaido to Okinawa will dish up local specialities, or gotochi. Wash the fun down with over 100 varieties of wine, craft beer and liquor.
