How to use this page
  • Plan by area — tap a prefecture and see where the places cluster, so you can group them into days instead of criss-crossing between cities
  • Filter by category — want only temples, castles or nature? Tap a category chip in the right-hand panel
  • Pick the month you are going — the month bar at the top puts that month’s festivals on the map. If your trip lands on a major festival, book a room 3-6 months ahead
  • Tap “Read more” on a card to see how to get there, the entry fee and the best time of year, plus a button that opens the route in Google Maps
