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). There's the new Ghibli Park, of course, but also destinations for fans of Naruto, Dragon Quest, and more. Tokyo events for Monday, June 5 to Sunday, June 11, 2023. Just south of Tokyo is Kamakura, a very popular day trip destination — and it's easy to see why! Chock full with shrines, temples, beautiful mountains, beaches, and a bustling town of culture. Fireflies mark the unofficial start to summertime in Tokyo—here's where you can see this natural phenomenon. Inside scoop: Everything about the Robot Restaurant reopening—including prices, how to get tickets, what's new, and our first impressions. Our recommended list of Tokyo events to check out this month. Of note are the firefly festivals and the impressive Torigoe Matsuri. How to save some dough on the show.
