About this event calendar
How we list dates
We only list a date when it appears for that year on an official page from the organizer, the local government or the tourism association. Each date is checked twice, separately, and only dates that matched the official page both times are shown as “Dates confirmed with official sources”. If next year’s dates haven’t been announced, or we couldn’t confirm them, we don’t show a date — we show when the event is usually held and point you to the official website.
How we catch changes
We revisit the official pages regularly. If an official page can’t be reached, or the sentence with the date is no longer there, we pull that event’s dates and switch it to “Please check the official website for dates”. Every event page shows when it was last checked and lists its sources.
Calendar files (.ics)
Each prefecture has an .ics file you can add to your calendar app. It only includes events whose dates we have confirmed, and each entry includes the official website’s URL.
