Interested in eating, drinking, dancing and shopping? All in one spot? Head to the events square at Yoyogi Park for The World Gourmet and Music Festival where you can tuck into some international cuisine, get your groove on and peruse the flea market stalls.

If you’re at Yoyogi Park on Sunday, June 27th, you’ll also stumble across the monthly Japanese Antique Market. A great place to pick up tangible pieces of Japanese culture and art or authentic souvenirs to bring back home.

Suggested Activity
Experience the Traditional Art of Kintsugi
Looking for a totally different experience? Then why not try a kintsugi class in Tokyo? Kintsugi is the revered Japanese art of repairing old pottery. In this one-hour kintsugi workshop, you'll learn the delicate art of gold repair, and create your own unique souvenir to take home. You'll even dress in samue, the outfit traditionally worn by craftsmen. ...

Keeping with the outdoor market theme, Akihabara UDX is hosting the Mottainai Festa 2015—an eco-friendly lifestyle event with a flea market, thrift shop, entertainment for kids and heaps more to raise money for green charities.

Manga, anime and game lovers will fare well in Roppongi over the next few days at the Manga*Anime*Games from Japan Exhibition held at the National Art Center. For 1,000 yen, you’ll get to see how the three genres have impacted various aspects of Japanese society.

Happy Weekend!
