    Taiko Matsuri

    Taiko Matsuri takes place from October 16-18 every year. Taiko Matsuri is a 300 year old tradition
    to give thanks for abundant autumn harvest. There are 47 taikodais (drum floats) that parade
    around town for 3 days and you can hear the sound of the drum inside the float all day and late
    into the night.

    So, the 47 taikodais parade the streets and compete in their 5 distinctive districts for the best
    carrying style.

    In an usually sleepy city, during festival welcome about 350,000 spectators so the whole city is a
    buzz with all the visitors.

    Hanami
    Hanami is the ancient tradition of going to enjoy the blooming of cherry blossoms (sakura) and
    sometimes plum blossoms (ume) in parks and throughout the countryside in Japan.

    Hanami literally means "viewing flowers," but it generally indicates cherry blossom viewing. It's
    said that the origin of hanami dates back to more than a thousand years ago when aristocrats
    enjoyed looking at beautiful cherry blossoms and wrote poems inspired by them.

    They drink and eat, making the tradition of blossom-viewing more like a picnic under the trees.
    People bring home-cooked meals, make barbecue, or buy take-out food to mark the occasion. As
    thousands of people flock to parks, securing the nicer places for picnics and parties in public
    spaces actually becomes competitive. Many people will go stake out a spot early in the morning or
    even a day in advance.If you do not like the crowd at one blossom viewing, you can easily go to a
    neighborhood park, garden, or other quiet place to view the blossoms instead.
    The best ¥100 shops in tokyo

    When you envision shopping in Tokyo, perhaps a high-end fashion boutique housed in a prize-
    winning architectural masterpiece first comes to mind. But step behind that boutique, turn left,
    then right, then left again – and you’ll find a different kind of awe-inspiring shopping experience:
    the ¥100 shop. Japan takes the 'dollar store' or 'pound store' concept to new heights – previous
    expectations of what can be bought on the cheap are blown out of the water.

    ¥100 shops are growing ever more abundant and have captured a crucial role in Japanese society.
    They are a staple for locals in need of household basics, a haven for DIY enthusiasts, and a must-
    visit for visitors in need of gifts. At most ¥100 shops, expect to find ceramics/kitchenware,
    stationery/office supplies, homeware/garden supplies, toiletries/beauty supplies, and
    toys/games/novelty items. That said, after a bit of 'hyaku en' (¥100) treasure hunting, you come to
    expect the unexpected. There are surprises around every corner.
