Towering lanterns, traditional balancing skills, and a special anime collaboration make this an unforgettable Japanese festival experience. There are many famous summer festivals in Japan, but the Akita Kanto Festival is one of the most magical and awe-inspiring. Fans of the series will want to head to Atrion during the day so they can view the large character panels, featuring the cast dressed in Kanto Festival outfits. When darkness falls, the main streets stretching from JR Akita Station toward Akita City Hall are transformed into a pedestrian-only festival area. Towering lanterns, incredible performers, local food, and a touch of Golden Kamuy magic makes this year’s Akita Kanto Festival one of the best events of the year.
