Akita Kanto Festival

As soon as I got out of Akita Station, I felt the festive atmosphere, followed the popular people and saw people who went to the Lantern Festival. We also ate dinner in a hurry on the road. If we can't book a room during the festival, we will stay here for a day. Because we have to catch the last train back to Shenggang, we have to look at the beginning and leave. It is a little regrettable.

Akita is the first stop for us to catch up with Japanese festivals this summer. Akita has a pleasant climate in the summer heat everywhere this year. The Shinkansen departed from Shenggang, less than two hours, and walked about 1 km to Akita to the xenon light road. It started at 10 o'clock in the evening. It was really exciting for adults and children to participate.

Akita Gan Light Festival is a traditional festival symbolizing the harvest. It is the largest festival in Akita. Akita is the most famous rice town in Japan. It is held every day from August 3 to August 6. It is very worth watching. The scenery nearby is also good. It is a natural landscape, basically free of charge. There are no tickets for attractions, and there are not many people who will not queue up. Akita's wine is also very famous in Japan. The real thing is also very delicious. It is highly recommended to have the opportunity to come and see!

Thousands of miles to see the 100-year-old lantern festival, really did not disappoint me, face value and skills are not down. The lantern festival originated in the Baoli period, in order to drive away the disease and evil spirit of summer, the Gregorian calendar is held from August 3 to 6. During the Lantern Festival, there is a Lantern Athletic Conference during the day, and the performance is rotated. It is scored by the professionals on the podium. At night, the lanterns are lit on the Lantern Street, the drums are drummed, and various pole skills are displayed. There is a paid viewing seat in the center of the street. The street station is full of audiences. Tens of thousands gather to applaud. Live and extraordinary, there are young children, full of support for the child version of the lamp, serious appearance is not inferior to adults.

One of the three major festivals in northeast Japan. Very distinctive. On August2-5 every year, many units and organizations will participate in night cruises, and there are various performances during the day. At night, the lights are very beautiful after they are on. However, Akita itself is a small city, so during the festival period, the housing is extremely tight, it is best to book a room several months in advance. You can also consider setting a hotel on the side of the train station along the JR Aoyu Main Line, so that you can take the train back after watching the performance, and the price is slightly cheaper than Akita local. The train station near Akita and the hotel on the side of the station is Daqu Station and Yokohama Station.

Akita, a city in the northeast three counties. Maybe for tourists, especially tourists with groups, this is monotonous and lacks highlights, but for us who have lived in the metropolis for a long time, the idleness, tranquility, burnout here is really rare.
