JBF2022

Japan Bird Festival (JBF), one of the largest festivals in Japan related to birds, was not held due to COVID-19 for two years. 2022 was held from 5 to 6 November, with great weather.　

According to Abiko city where I live in HP, this event, Japan Bird Festival (JBF) is one of the largest festivals in Japan related to birds. It annually is held at Lake Teganuma in Abiko City, Chiba, located in the North East of Tokyo. Whoever young or old, birdwatcher or non-birdwatcher, and others, can enjoy every bird event!

There are many events in JBF. For example, NPOs, NGOs, unincorporated groups, and city governments, exhibit their activities at their own booth tent. Children can enjoy handicraft classes, bird carving, and painting. Moreover, birding from on-boat or lakeside are held.
