While we are faced with a late rainy season, it will end in time for the best part of the summer in Tokyo: the festivals! We have the Asagaya Tanabata Festival on schedule this year for August 7 – August 12 as well as one of the most popular summer festival events in all of Tokyo, the Tokyo Koenji Awa-Odori Festival on the final weekend of August, the 24th and 25th. We’ll be updating these pages with new info, so be sure to check them out.
As springtime has sprung in Tokyo, be sure to check out our parks for cherry blossom viewing areas and places to relax, as well as upcoming spring events such as the Koenji Bikkuri Street Performance event in late April and the Asagaya Nomiya Festival bar-hopping event in early May.
