Bunkasai Japan, a Field Guide to Tokyo’s School Festivals
A practical editorial guide to Tokyo university festivals, with dates, campus access details, etiquette, cultural context, and short documentary videos.
Field notes
The site combines a visitor-facing festival calendar with explanatory editorial material about Japanese university culture. Listings record dates, campuses, nearby transport, entry conditions, cash requirements, and occasional English-information notes; the homepage says its editors compared eighteen official programmes. A six-part video series is presented alongside the guide, including episodes about anime’s school-festival trope, public access, and a count of food stalls, stages, celebrity guests, and open research labs.
