Japan is known for celebrating many Western holidays like Christmas, Halloween, and Valentine’s Day. But Easter is one relatively new holiday that has been picking up interest in Japan. This holiday has cute rabbits, Easter egg hunts, and chocolate. As anticipation builds for the new holiday in Japan, many people wonder, how many days until Easter?

Easter is not a widely celebrated holiday in Japan or recognized as a religious holiday. But, it has gained popularity in recent years as a cute and fun event, especially among young people and families. This is due to Japan’s unique culture and fascination with cute and fun things.

Celebrating in Japan

If you’re in Japan during Easter, there are plenty of fun and exciting ways to celebrate the holiday. Popular activities like visiting theme parks such as Disney Sea and Universal Studios Japan and participating in egg hunting and painting are some of the highlights of the holiday event.

Disney Sea is a popular theme park in Japan known for its unique and immersive attractions based on various Disney properties. During Easter, the park undergoes a transformation with colorful decorations and unique shows that add a festive and cheerful atmosphere to the park.

One of the highlights of visiting Disney Sea during Easter is the parade in the park. The parade features beloved Disney characters, such as Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, and many others, dressed in Easter attire.
