At the Fukagawa Jugoya festival in Fukagawa, you can really bask in the moonlight.
What happens?
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.
