October in Japan

October is probably the best month of the year to visit Japan. The weather is usually warm, but not too muggy and the September Typhoons have usually passed. Because of this many towns and villages take the chance to celebrate their local festivals, which are often amazing spectacles involving groups of people parading round portable shrines or local specialities such as horse racing. They are really World class events, such as these two from Ehime prefecture.
