Two of Japan's largest summer festivals in two days ✔ Watch as festival performers balance 15m bamboo poles adorned with paper anterns ✔ Wear traditional 'Yukata' and walk through forests of Tanabata decorations ✔ Find your inner peace during Zen meditation at a UNESCO World Heritage temple ✔ Dine on local food cooked by a private chef and taste local Japanese sake Experience first-hand two of Japan's largest summer festivals – Akita's Kanto Matsuri and Sendai's Tanabata! Both festivals share their origins in the ancient Chinese star festival, but each has developed into its own unique and exciting personality over the centuries. First up is the incredible acrobatic performance of Akita's 'Kanto Matsuri' (pole lantern festival). Kanto performers carry long bamboo poles (some up to 15m) adorned with lanterns, balancing them precariously on their palms, shoulders, foreheads – you name it – all to the sound of traditional music and taiko drumming. In contrast, Sendai's Tanabata festival is much more subdued but certainly no less colorful! Hundreds of giant 'Fukunagashi' decorations made from traditional rice paper are displayed throughout the city, turning the busy shopping arcades.
