Both will be taking place around the same time in March in 2025, when I'm planning my trip. Neither is considerably out of my way (I'll be doing Tokyo to Lake Biwa, around Lake Biwa by bike, and then back to Tokyo), but I don't think I'll go to both so I can have less travel days and more time in Tokyo for my relatively short trip.
For anybody that's been to one or both of these festivals, I'd appreciate any input. Do I want to (maybe) die in one of Japan's deadliest fire festivals, or watch a 6 foot schlong be paraded through the streets?
