Welcome to Japan Awaits, your source for traditional and cultural event bookings. Our guests love Japan and the preservation of its culture and traditions.

Today marks the 11th year anniversary of the Tohoku Earthquake 🕯🕯🕯

On March 11th, 2011, a massive earthquake of 9.0 magnitude hit Japan, which caused a devastating tsunami in its northern coast and resulted in the world's worst nuclear disaster (since the 1986 Chernobyl crisis). Over 15,000 lives were lost and there were 2,525 people missing from the incident. In the last decade, the Japan government has spent $277 billion on reconstruction costs and there are continued plans to restore the devastated areas.

These photos were taken in Futaba, Fukushima, to memorialize this date.

Who wants to find Pokemon in real-life? ⚡️⚡️🐣

Now's your chance to catch 'em all! Pokémon Wonder is a brand-new 48,000-square-foot outdoor adventure for Pokémon lovers to search for their favorite Pokémon characters in real life.

Pokémon Wonder is located within an undisclosed and untouched natural area deep inside Yomiuriland, an amusement park in Inaki City, Tokyo. Attendees (aka Pokémon masters) may wander around the forest looking for handcrafted Pokémon created from leaves, acorns and other natural elements. Attendees will be given an 'orientation' before being handed a series of hints in a natural region previously inaccessible via the park. This adventure is similar to Niantic's Pokemon Go, which relies heavily on walking. Participants will become Pokemon researchers, reading clues and searching for Pokemon over the course of 90 minutes.

Bookings are available until the 3rd of April, 2022. Eager fans can book a 90-minute slot for up to six people to participate in a 'nature adventure' at https://wonder.pokemon.jp/

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐁𝐄𝐒𝐓 𝐍𝐀𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐀𝐋 𝐖𝐎𝐍𝐃𝐄𝐑𝐒 𝐈𝐍 𝐉𝐀𝐏𝐀𝐍 𝐓𝐎 𝐕𝐈𝐒𝐈𝐓 𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐖𝐈𝐍𝐓𝐄𝐑: Shirogane Blue Pond 🇯🇵 ☃️

📍 Shirogane Blue Pond - Hokkaido
Shirogane Blue Pond (美瑛町青い池) is a man-made reservoir in Biei, Hokkaido. Located a few hours north of Sapporo, the Shirogane Blue Pond was created when the Biei River was dammed up in 1988. The Blue Pond is designed to safeguard the town against mudslides, and it has become a popular tourist attraction for both Japanese and international visitors. Natural minerals leached into the water from nearby mountains and waterfalls give the man-made pond its distinct coloring, which ranges from deep azure to aquamarine. Even while it appears to be pretty stunning in the summer, the actual enchantment of this location is exposed only during the winter.

In Hokkaido, snow may fall as early as October, and the pond regularly freezes over from December to mid-April. The ice has an unusual hue of blue, and the snow enhances the scenery's fanciful appearance. The Blue Pond area is illuminated at night from 5 PM to 9 PM, and the illuminated tree lights regularly change colors during the winter months, creating a beautiful and romantic atmosphere.

Something magical happened today 😱 It’s cherry blossom season in Tokyo and while there may be some rain during this time of year, snow is completely out-of-season. But today, during the critical coronavirus weekend lockdown in Tokyo, snow appeared alongside the beautiful cherry blossoms all around the Kanto-Koshin region with temperatures dropping below 1 C in the morning. 🌸❄️ This rare and magical occurrence, unfortunately, did not have many spectators as residents are asked to isolate themselves this weekend to prevent the spike of coronavirus cases in Japan. 📷: Video by @bakahawai

Who wants to go? 😄 Kanamara Festival 🇯🇵 📍📍📍 The Kanamara Festival (かなまら祭り), aka the "Pen*s Festival," is back in town on April 7th! 😁 Get ready for displays of numerous giant phalli, pen*s-shaped snacks and a mikoshi parade which includes the distinctive pink ‘Elizabeth Mikoshi’ pen*s which was donated by a drag queen club called "Elizabeth," and will be carried by men in drag. 🍆 The Kanamara Festival originated five decades ago around Kanayama Shrine in Tokyo's neighboring prefecture of Kawasaki. It was once popular with prostitutes who prayed for protection from sexually transmitted diseases. 📷 @hashimohashimo

Love this awesome illumination tunnel at Yomiuriland by Tokyo 😍 Yomiuriland (よみうりランド) is a Japanese amusement park situated on the hillsides near Tokyo (just about a 30 minute train ride from Shinjuku Station). 🎢 The Yomiuriland Jewellumination is considered one of the best illumination events around Tokyo. Millions of LED lights are decorated around the 43 attractions featured in the spacious park. The illumination event began in October and will end on Feb. 19, 2017 (from 4 PM to 8:30 PM daily). The cost for entrance only is 1200 yen and for a package with some attractions, the cost is 2300 yen.

One of our favorite illumination spots: Tokyo Midtown! 🌠 The Tokyo Midtown illumination is famous for the 'Starlight Garden' lights that involves multiple illumination areas around the Midtown complex, creating a magical, wintery atmosphere with over 100,000 blue LEDs. 🎇 There is a "shooting star" theme this year and the light-up event will take place from Nov. 15th to Dec. 25th from 5 PM to 11 PM daily in the park behind the main tower of Tokyo Midtown of Roppongi, Tokyo.

Scary stuff 😱 A gigantic sinkhole has opened in the city of Fukuoka, swallowing huge sections of road near underground work to extend a subway tunnel. On Tuesday, two smaller holes appeared just 300 meters from the JR Hakata railway station. Today, the sinkhole is now 27 meters wide, 30 meters long and 15 meters deep.

Who wants to swim in this crystal clear water? 🏊 Minami-jima (南島) is the must-see island of Ogasawara Island group, located just southwest of Chichijima Island (still considered part of Tokyo Prefecture). 🏝 The white sand is cool to the touch and the Ogi-ike lagoon with crystal clear waters that lead to the sea is a sight to behold. The island is uninhabited except for Green Sea Turtles and other native animals that breed here, creating a quiet and relaxed area for swimming, snorkeling and just laying out on the beach (albeit a guide is required to be with you on the island).
