1001 Japan Matsuri – The Best Traditional Festivals in Japan
Japanese festivals are also one of the greatest venues to try a wide range of distinctive, informal, and seasonal Japanese dishes.

However, during matsuri, the streets are lined with yatai (food stalls) after yatai (food stall), each providing a unique choice of healthy (and not-so-healthy) festival goodies.
