What to expect
Get a position at the front of the stage to hear folk music from the volunteer African Heritage Band, who’ll wow the crowd with their vocals and traditional instruments.
Suggested Activity
Get Tickets To the Samurai Restaurant in Shinjuku (Up to 30% Off)
Experience one of the craziest, most colorful places in Tokyo — the all-new Samurai Restaurant, from the creators of the Robot Restaurant. Get your tickets and sit back for a wild show of lasers, lights, samurai, dancers and other uniquely Japanese weirdness.
When the drums need a break, watch a fashion show exhibiting traditional dress and even charity auctions of memorabilia and art. Not to worry if you don’t win, as the stalls around the venue will have plenty of African arts and crafts that make the perfect memento. And if you’re peckish in between, stop at the food court for African classics like jollof rice or chicken yassa.
