Christmas is a month away, but Japan has already been gearing up for holidays.  Chika takes us on a tour of spectacular light show called Toki no Sumika in in Gotemba, Shizuoka. Toki no Sumika literally meaning where time resides presents a magical world of illumination.

Mark and Kanae take us on a mouth-watering tour of Tori No Ichi street food festival.  The street stretching over a mile with hundreds of food vendors entice visitors with wide array of street food.

The season is right to enjoy fall foliage throughout Japan.  One of the notable fall festivals is Mount Takao Autumn Leaves Festival where scarlet color maple trees, beautiful views, taiko drumming demonstration, concerts, and yosakoi dancing entertain visitors. 

Paolo and Maiko share their one of a kind experiences at a hotel with a private onsen and a gorgeous view.  Happy birthday Paolo!  You are worth $600 a night.  It is an amazing gift to receive from the better-half.

This video observes a spring festival in Asakusa through the lens of an international visitor.  The video host explains the history behind the festival.  Setsubun is commonly known as a bean-throwing festival to celebrate the beginning of spring, observed each year on February 3 during the Haru Matsuri (Spring Festival). Much like Lunar New Year celebrations around the world.
