Let’s take a look at various factors that have been ignored by YouTubers who mentioned food prices at local festivals in Korea these days. Let’s look at some of the differences here.
Most festivals in Japan are deeply rooted in old history and tradition. For example, Kyoto’s Gion Matsuri has a history of more than 1,000 years. There are festivals in Korea with a long history, but they may not be as large as Japan. Because Japan has developed unique cultures and traditions in each region, the individuality of local festivals stands out. These festivals serve to strengthen the social cohesion of local residents and revitalize the local economy. Korea also has a local festival, but its scale and diversity may be lower than that of Japan.Japan is excellent at successfully promoting festivals and encouraging tourists to participate. Korea also holds festivals, but it may not focus as much on promotion and marketing as Japan. Japan has a well-developed tourism infrastructure, making it easy for foreign tourists to participate in the festival. Korea’s tourism infrastructure is gradually improving, but it may not be as perfect as Japan.In the case of Japan, investment in the size of the national economy and the local economy is relatively high, so there is room to hold a big festival. On the other hand, Korea is relatively short of economic capacity, so it may be difficult to hold a big festival like Japan.After all, the difference between Korean and Japanese festivals is due to various factors such as history, regional characteristics, publicity, tourism infrastructure, and economic factors. Korea is also continuing to improve the size and promotion of the festival to attract more attention from tourists around the world. Through these efforts, Korean festivals will gradually increase their international awareness and promote various cultures and traditions to the world.
Also, social and cultural differences between Korea and Japan make the difference between festivals. For example, Japan has its own way of planning and implementing festivals, such as Shotzuri, but Korea takes a way of harmonizing traditional and modern festivals.Korea has also been hosting festivals popular with domestic and foreign tourists in recent years, and their size and quality are improving. For example, Busan International Film Festival, Cheongdo Cherry Blossom Festival, and Andong Mask Dance Festival are representative Korean festivals.Both Korean and Japanese festivals have their own charm and characteristics, so it is also a good way to experience various festivals in both countries. Through this, you will be able to understand and enjoy Korean and Japanese cultures and traditions more deeply.
