Japanese summer “matsuri” are upon us: it’s time to enjoy summer festivals! Summer in Japan is extremely hot and humid, but the saving grace is the fantastic summer festivals. In Suginami City, Tokyo, we have you covered for both the walk-and-look type of festival with the Asagaya Tanabata Festival, August 7th through 11th, and the pick-a-spot-and-watch type of festival with the Tokyo Koenji Awa-Odori Festival, August 29th and 30th. Both events will have lots of food vendors and people decked out in yukata and traditional garb, and are sure to be the highlights of your Tokyo summer visit.

To make sure the content on Experience Suginami Tokyo is current and up to date, we are working hard to update all pages with fresh current information while taking out anything that is out of date. This is a work in progress, so please bear with us as we continue to revamp the site. We will do our best to make sure it is as current and relevant as possible for those of you visiting our beloved Suginami, Tokyo.
