Japan's Culture and Tradition

Japan Culture and Tradition
Japan is famous for having one of the richest and most interesting cultures in the world.
Many of the country’s ancient practices and traditions are still intact today, helping to shape Japan’s unique lifestyle and global perception. While most Westerners conjure thoughts of sushi, samurai and sumo wrestlers when they think about Japanese culture (and they wouldn’t be wrong), these notions barely scratch the surface of the Japanese people and their multi-faceted culture.

Enjoy Festivities in Japan :
With a temperate climate, Japan has four lovely and distinct seasons. These seasons together with regional differences across the archipelago have given birth to various local cultures, customs, as well as “matsuri,” or festivals, in Japan. Deriving from the country’s unique Shinto religion, these festivals are closely related to Japanese people’s religious beliefs as well as customs developed in Japan’s agrarian past.


Summer Festivals / Fireworks :
Summer Festivals are another fun and exciting Japanese tradition that kids can enjoy too.Japanese fireworks are some of the most elaborate and colorful in the world. They develop new types of fireworks every year and the fireworks festivals are a summer tradition from long ago. This is an event where you can enjoy wearing a “yukata” too. There are fireworks held almost every weekend from the end of July to the end of August and thousands of people gather at these festivals. It’s very difficult to navigate these crowds or know the best place to see the fireworks from, so I really recommend requesting a tour and having a local guide take you there and back to your hotel.

Learn the History and Culture :
History plays an important part in Japanese culture. Many castles and streets are still preserved the way they were built. Having a polytheistic culture, there are also a lot of shrines and temples all around Japan. Influences from Buddhism and the traditional Shinto religion can be seen in these traditional architectures. Some of these castles and temples are listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Visit these fascinating historical sites and various museums across the country to have a first-hand experience of the history and the culture of Japan.

Temples and Shrines :
The histories of temples and shrines can go back hundreds to even thousands of years.
Take a trip to these temples and shrines and learn about how culture and aesthetics are deeply rooted in the daily life of every Japanese people. Used to be imperial capitals of Japan in different historical periods, Kyoto and Nara are both ancient cities with rich history and culture.
With many temples and shrines with historical meaning well-preserved, Kyoto and Nara are both listed as Historic Monuments in the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

Japan's Castles :
Most of Japan's castles were originally conceived as fortress for military defense.
They were often placed in strategic locations, but as towns and cities developed, some were built as centers of governance. As Japan used to consist of many states, there were at one point five thousand castles scattered throughout the country. Today, there are more than one hundred castles still extant in Japan. Some of the most famous castles include the Himeji Castle in Himeji city, the Kumamoto Castle in Kumamoto, and the Matsumoto Castle in Nagano.
Generally well-preserved, most of the Japanese castles are open to the public for tours and exploration.

Cherry Blossom Viewing:
As you know, spring is all about seeing the cherry blossoms in Japan. They bloom from around the last days of March to the first week of April. Nowadays there are many tours to take you to see the beautiful cherry blossoms. One thing you’ll probably see a lot when going on these tours are people having picnics under the flowering trees. This is a custom called “ohanami” or literally cherry blossom viewing. People enjoy talking, eating, drinking alcohol, and overall having a good time under the cherry blossoms.
