You have wonderful festivals! They're so very visual and your photos are terrific!
This is a year of normal things not happening isn't it, I am sure the festival's will return once it is safe to do so.
2020 is the year of cancellations!
Most festivals in Japan have a long history and will be back in full swing once the pandemic is over. You have already been to a good variety of festivals and by looking at the photographs I am sure you can 'relive' them.
I would love to attend the snow festivals. I read that Japan also has Christmas markets like in Europe. Your festivals will return, it has certainly been an uneventful year.
I'm sure you are missing your usual summer activities, I know I am!
