There are so many famous festivals in summer. You can even go to just a fireworks festival every weekend if you want. But be careful, those large-scale festivals attract too many people to walk properly. You can hardly find a place to sit unless you get there half day earlier.
There are also local dancing festivals from July to September in every community. We found one last weekend and it gave me a great feeling of Japanese old times. Old people were dancing in the circle with kids, some were catching gold fish, others were playing the little games and the good smell from all the little food shops made people hungry.
