Kamakura Fireworks

It is a typical sight during the summer months, but one of the best fireworks displays in Kanagawa is the Kamakura Fireworks Festival. This fireworks display happens in early July. It isn’t as big as some of the other festivals in the neighboring areas, but it offers a more laid-back experience by allowing everyone to watch the display from the beachside. The one thing this festival offers is the view of the fireworks glistening off the sea as each one explodes. It is truly an experience that anyone would enjoy, and it beats the crowded festivals of other places.

Kanamara Penis Festival

This is one of Japan’s most interesting festivals and takes place every year in April at the Kanayama Shrine. It has become very popular over the years and draws huge crowds of foreigners. The festival is meant to promote healthy relationships, protection from sexual diseases, and healthy childbirth. You can find candies and vegetables shaped to look like penises and vaginas, and the mikoshi is also a large penis that is brought to and from the shrine. Once the parade session is finished you can enjoy musical entertainment and the many food stalls at the nearby Daishi Temple. It is recommended you get there very early as the line becomes long quickly, and it becomes crowded on the temple grounds as well.

Enoshima Tennosai

This festival happens on the second Sunday in July. It is a famous local tradition that begins at Yasaka and Koyurugi Shrines. It is famous in many areas of Japan and draws many people from other places in the country. After the festival rituals are performed, the mikoshi is then paraded down the streets. It is accompanied by a tenno hayashi band, and they perform their chants and songs as the mikoshi is brought out to the sea. It is the best part of the entire precession and is a must-see for any visitors to Japan. Since it is so famous, it fills up quickly so make sure to plan ahead and get there early.

Atsugi Ayu Fireworks Festival

This large-scale fireworks festival happens in early August and is one of the biggest in the country. It averages an attendance of about 500,000 every year, and it showcases more than 10,000 fireworks. It is truly a sight to behold, and it helps that the loading dock and the viewing area are close to each other. It guarantees a spectacular view of the ensuing display.
