Matsuri is always so happening there, always see it in anime and J-dramas! Really love their festivals and unique culture! GIANT TAIYAKI!! :D

[@linnyunt]

Yeah, we try and go to as many as we can.

[@sabrinattn]

Thanks Lin! I'm definitely going to go to some of these events! So excited

[@linnyunt]

Yeah, there are some really good ones!

[@jolintruong6263]

Amazing dance festival

[@linnyunt]

Thank you. It does look amazing, hey?

[@HangryByNature]

The Halloween dress ups look EPIC! I would love to see Japanese dress up for this event. I would love to eat the giant Taiyaki.. that's outta this world. Mmmm so good! I remember eating 2 giant ones in Tokyo and feeling sick after. Still worth it. That's a great lineup of events for October! Great time to visit Japan.

[@linnyunt]

Cheers, Tina. For such a recently recognised holiday in Japan, they really know how to do Halloween. USJ is so good over Halloween! I'd love to get a piece of that giant taikyaki too. 🤤

[@danielnampham]

thanks

[@linnyunt]

You're welcome.

[@TheWorldnUs]

Another great guide Lin👍. Shared on Twitter for you 😉

[@linnyunt]

Thank you, David. Appreciate it!

[@terricroft4111]

I hope I make it to Japan someday before I die. Thanks for your videos!

[@linnyunt]

Thanks for watching, Terri. Yeah, you've got to come. It's a great place to visit.

[@WaldoBagelTopper]

Same here my friend. Same here. I know this comment is 5 years old, but I hope that you made it. I haven't.

[@linnyunt]

I hope you get to visit Japan too.

[@nickandhelmi]

Lin! :D Seems most of the events dance/shrines etc are very similar month to month around japan but my gosh Okinawa Great Tug of War! - PLEASE TELL ME YOU ARE DOING IT :D haha - bloopers are the best! :P

[@linnyunt]

I don't have time to do Okinawa this year. But maybe next year!

[@nickandhelmi]

Lin Nyunt haha 🤣

[@linnyunt]

Which of the events look the most interesting to you?

[@Rock_Girl_Daze]

Lin Nyunt all the celebrations sound great. Looking forward to seeing what you visit!

[@tiffanyledford6324]

Halloween Horror Night!!! I Love Halloween!! Currently there is a typhoon on the way to Japan. do you report about it?

[@linnyunt]

Halloween Horror Nights is amazing! As for the typhoon we'll see. I don't plan on reporting every time we have one since they're common occurrence here.

[@CriticalEatsJapan]

Cool. I wish I lived closer to USJ... ;)

[@linnyunt]

USJ is pretty awesome. I bit the bullet and bought an annual pass just recently.

[@PeterandYen]

Ujicha and the Nagasaki ceremony looks cool like anime styles cool. By the way Lin Yen and I will be in Japan next year for the rugby world cup. Will you be in tokyo around October and November by any chance? Would be awesome to meet up!

[@linnyunt]

Most likely I'll be in Osaka. Let me know if you guys are planning on coming to Osaka. If not, I could maybe make the trip to Tokyo. 😁

[@jadino_bambino]

I would definitely like to see the Jidai and Miyazaki Festival. As well as the Otsu Hikiyama Festival, but with the dates a bit far apart, I don't think I'll get to see some of the earlier festivals. What is everyone's most favourite festivals?

[@linnyunt]

Thanks for watching! Yeah, it's hard to see all the festivals in Japan, even if you live in Japan your whole life. Jidai is cool to see for the costume but the Otsu Hikiyama Festival is seriously impressive stuff. I'm going to release a vlog on it some time in the future. However, Awa Odori is my absolute favourite festival. I also have a vlog on that one.

[@thomaswhite4231]

Very informative

[@linnyunt]

Thanks, Thomas.

[@christopherking501]

Hi Lin! Chris here. You have a great channel. I would love to come to the Kasuga shrine festival October 13 and 14th it would be very exciting to see these epic floats or shrines battle each other out! So how much do you think it would cost to get a round-trip ticket from St. louis, Missouri? LOL I enjoy your channel very much keep posting God bless.

[@linnyunt]

Hi Chris, thanks so much for the lovely compliments. I'm happy to hear you get value from my content. Those festivals do look good, don't they? But if you are serious about visiting Japan, I think you'd have an amazing time. Have a good one.

[@martinmartin05]

Dear Lin thank you so much for your gorgeous videos. I have the plan to go to Japan this year 2022 end of September and beginning of October. I am a bit concern about the weather, if these months are ok to go ahead with my family. Please would you be kind to give me a little comment on that? I would really appreciate it! Thanks Martin

[@martinmartin05]

Sorry I forgot to say I’ll be in Kanto/Tokyo area thx 🙏

[@linnyunt]

That time of year is typhoon season for Japan but you never know if one might hit or not at all during the time you're booked for. If a typhoon does approach, it might even bypass Kanto. You just never know. The good news is that the weather is cooler than during the peak of Japan's extremely humid summer.

[@martinmartin05]

@@linnyunt thanks

[@SN-cx8sz]

Suggestion for future videos, talk a little faster. If you play this video at 1.25x speed the flow is much better than normal.

[@linnyunt]

Thanks for watching and the feedback!

[@jandl9417]

Wish there’s more pictures instead of watching him talked 😬

[@linnyunt]

Thanks for watching! I would have liked to but I'm limited in the photos I can use because I have to select Creative Commons images so I don't infringe on copyright. Those images are very hard to come by.
