At the Fukagawa Jugoya festival in Fukagawa, you can really bask in the moonlight.
What to expect
To celebrate the autumn full moon, Tomioka Hachimangū Shrine will be hosting a tsukimi (moon-viewing party). As is traditional for this type of Japanese festival, there will be special dumplings to eat and pampas grass to decorate the surroundings.
The shrine grounds will be lit up and performers — such as Japanese dancers and singers — will appear live on a special stage. Performances will run throughout the day until 8:30 p.m. Meanwhile, enjoy the illuminations after sundown — the shrine will be lit with unique patterns of light from 6 p.m.
Organizers may cancel events, alter schedules, or change admission requirements without notice. Always check official sites before heading to an event.- 320 m from Monzennakachō Station Tozai Line (T12)Oedo Line (E15)
