Not your average matsuri! A round-up of unusual summer festivals in Japan you might not have heard of.
The major Japanese festivals in summer are Obon and Tanabata, and there are lots of fireworks. But there are so many festivals all around Japan, all with different themes and special events going on. Here's a selection of more unusual festivals, with fire, mud splashing, spraying water on portable shrines, dressing up as demons and all sorts of chaotic fun! I'd definitely recommend visiting a Japanese matsuri if you can - even if you're staying just in the Tokyo area, there are many of them all year round, and it's guaranteed to be an experience!

A look around Setsubun, a Japanese festival at Senso-ji in Asakusa, the oldest temple in Tokyo! Plus: what else these is to see in Asakusa.
Setsubun is a Japanese festival (matsuri) every February to celebrate the start of spring. It's known as the bean-throwing festival. The main places it's celebrated in Tokyo are Sensoji and Zojoji. Famous people throw beans to the crowd for good luck, with chanting. There are also ceremonial dances and food stalls. It was a really interesting experience! In the video I also show you around the backstreets of Asakusa and Nakamise Dori, the oldest shopping street in Japan where you can get lots of street food and souvenirs. There's also a beautiful view of the SkyTree and the Asahi Building across the Sumida River.
