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). Tokyo events for Monday, April 22 to Sunday, April 28, 2024. From rooftop bars to public baths, art spaces, and more — there's lots to keep you busy. Tokyo is often described as busy, crowded and futuristic, but there are also traditional shrines and gardens where you can swap the hustle and bustle of the city for peace and quiet. A different way to tune into the city. 8 perfect picks, from parks to shopping streets. You'll need more than a day — there are LOTS of things to try! Upcoming names include Baekhyun, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Iron Maiden — and more. Move over, cherry blossoms! These other blooms will take your breath away well into late spring. Light-ups have been extended, since the blossoms were so late this year.
