Japanese Festivals known as Matsuri are fun events to attend. They represent old and new Japan from old farming rituals to Buddhist ceremonies to Anime parades. Here is a collection of photographs, videos, and stories of my experiences with Japanese festivals. You can search Festivals by keywords directly or by month, region, and type.

Oktoberfest in Tokyo (Hibiya Park)
Here are some scenes from an Oktoberfest celebration in Hibiya Park in the middle of Tokyo.
Beer, saurkraut, big pretzels, sausages, and yakisoba. Plus enough cowbell to sastify even Christopher Walkens.
Main problem though is the lines! It's not like Oktoberfest where they bring your food and drink to you. You have to stand in line and sometimes really long lines so get there early.
There quite a number of Oktoberfest events throughout Japan mainly in September and October. Be sure to check local listings!
TIME: mid-Sept around the 15th-17th from Weds-Friday. Evenings 5:00-10:30
PLACE: Hibiya Park, Tokyo
GETTING THERE: 2 mins from Hibiya Stn on Hibiya Line or 8 mins from Yurakucho on JR Line
