Japanese festivals
He’s one of the few people in Japan who made it to adulthood without trying one of the country’s most popular festival foods.
We join the festivities at Suga Shrine, made famous as one of the real-life locations from the hit anime film Your Name.
The stunning sound and visuals in this new clip are designed to transport viewers to a Japanese festival as part of a new website for foreign tourists.
From fried noodles to “octopus balls”, what you’ll find at a festival food stall is probably nothing like you imagined Japanese food to be.
The huge streamer decorations that draw crowds from all around Japan will now feature adorable cat characters created by an anime artist.
