Tokyo summer festivals are hitting their peak this August, and the city’s matsuri calendar is packed. 🎇Fukagawa Hachiman Matsuri returns in its full honmatsuri form this year (once every three years) with 54 mikoshi carried through Koto-ku on Aug 16, spectators dousing the bearers with water the whole way.
Add in Koenji’s Awa Odori, where roughly 10,000 dancers from about 100 troupes take over the shopping streets, and Azabu Juban’s summer festival, an international food market wedged between Roppongi and Tokyo Tower, and you’ve got a full month of yukata, taiko drums and grilled street food.🍢🍡🍧
Favorite thing about summer in Tokyo?

And Saturday August 8 all afternoon, our very own rock festival supporting climate action, on the beach in Kamakura. 8 local bands, and all proceeds donated to a youth led NPO in the Philippines. Details and tickets: @toohottobecool.tokyo 😊 (big thanks to Metropolis for always featuring our event on their website! 😁)
