Hello,
I've been in Japan a number years teaching english. While my Japanese isn't so good because of this (and my laziness) I have studied Japanese history and culture quite extensively. One of my favorite things to do in Japan is go to Japanese Matsuri. I've been to many up and down the country.
I can put in links so you'll have to do it yourself
