There are a lot of events held in Japan every month. But it seems that most of them are for the local Japanese. Can I get some information about the international events held in Japan? Thanks so much!!!
What events in Japan are target at international tourists?
In general, you just kind of stumble into festivals, or a friend of a friend tells you about something happening, and you just go.
One event that you can't even intentionally avoid is the Cherry Blossom viewing in April, as there are Cherry Blossom trees (Sakura) all over Japan, and you'll see everyone from uni students to businessmen, to Japanese grandmas picnicing under them, drinking it up mid-day.
If you go to a big city, there is always something going on somewhere, and you can visit the local tourist booth at any major train station (they usually have English speaking staff) and get a map and the most detailed instructions on how to get there that you will ever receive in your life.
Just to put everything in prospective, my 75 year old grandpa who doesn't speak a word of Japanese came here alone, managed to navigate his way to the city I live in (I'm an English teacher here), find a tour bus and visit tons of temples and shrines on his own.
As far as a website resource, try the Japanese National Tourist Organization's site: http://www.jnto.go.jp/
Good luck!
