If you don’t have the time or money to go to awesome but far-flung regional matsuri (festivals), this is the event for you.
What happens?
The Furusato Weekend promises to gather all the unique entertainment, best local delicacies, and finest beverages from around Japan and hand them to you in the convenience of Tokyo Dome City.
Stroll from Hokkaido to Okinawa in a matter of minutes and sample everything from scallops to manju filled with slabs of fatty tuna. You can wash it down with plenty of booze — there are more than 300 varieties on offer at the event, including local craft beers.
Schedule 2025
The schedule for 2025 is yet to be confirmed.
