This&That Café V.39: Summer Send-Off
One of our favorite events in the city, This&That offers an interdisciplinary evening of art and music—plus good vibes and cold drinks! An Indian cultural festival at Yoyogi Park with over 30 different food and drink stalls, plus musical and dance performances, lectures and other displays. There are scheduled performances all day on both Saturday and Sunday. Visitors will have a unique opportunity to experience Czech traditions, music and cuisine. There will also be various stalls selling traditional cosmetics, books, toys, jewelry, accessories, print textiles and more. Shinagawa was, historically, the first rest stop between Tokyo and Kyoto during the Edo period. Calling back to those times, locals dress up (pretending to be samurai, geisha, courtesans and other historical characters) and parade the streets tracing a section of the old route. The Autumn Festival at Okunitama Jinja Shrine is also called the Chestnut Festival because—you guessed it—the region is known for its top-quality chestnuts. Another highlight are the 260 paper lanterns that light up the area. Combining motorbikes, art and music, this one-day festival is an open-air day designed to bring inspiration to the young motorcycle riders in Japan. One of the more impressive flower festivals, the Red Spider Lily blankets the Kinchakuda fields in Hidaka, Saitama (just a short jaunt outside of Tokyo). If you like your holiday season with a bit of European flair. Tokyo events for Monday, November 18 to Sunday, November 24, 2024. Join our lovely presenter Patricia as she explores Kōenji, a retro paradise and hipster haven. Take a little break from the city. The best parks, gardens, and day trips this fall. The capital puts on quite a show — don't miss it! Steaming kabocha, roasted chestnuts, and other treats await. The lights are coming on. All the views, without any of the hassle. Light-ups, "lucky rakes", late-season fireworks, and more.
