Tokyo events for Mon, June 13 to Sun, June 19, 2022

This week enjoy the in-the-flesh return of the Taiwan Festival, seasonal flower festivals and the annual opening of one of Tokyo’s most unique beer gardens.

Taiwan Festival Tokyo, Ueno Park

Since travel has been off the cards for so long, this is one of your best chances to get a taste of Taipei’s famous night markets with Taiwan Festival Tokyo returning to Ueno Park.

Bunkyo Ajisai Festival, Hakusan Shrine

Ajisai is the Japanese word for hydrangea. Nothing marks the start of Tokyo’s rainy season quite like these beautiful flowers. There are lots of hydrangea festivals on throughout Tokyo, but the one at Hakusan Shrine is one of the best.
