In every part of Japan and in each season there are festivals or all sorts, ranging from the energy-charged to subtle and refined – whatever you seek.  Then after the festival you can relax by soaking in a hot spring.  And thus refreshed, why not try the tea ceremony?  Noted for being a philosophical art form, you just might discover a new self.  If you would prefer something more action-packed, then try one of the many theme parks, sporting events, or going shopping.  Whatever your pleasure, the time you spend in Japan will certainly be unforgettable."
