Japan has a fascinating mix of traditional and modern celebrations throughout the year.
In this lesson, you'll learn vocabulary for festivals and cultural events.
You'll also practice using より〜ほう (comparison) and expressing opinions about culture.
Japanese festivals (祭り/matsuri) are spectacular events with portable shrines (神輿/mikoshi), traditional dances (盆踊り/bon-odori), and fireworks (花火/hanabi). New Year (お正月) is the most important holiday, celebrated with special food (おせち料理) and shrine visits (初詣).
