The Tokyo Foreign Studies University (Tokyo Gaigo Daigaku) in Fuchū have their Gaigosai Festival each year from mid- to late November.

What happens?

The student organizers promise “a tour around the world without the need for a passport”.

Restaurants will be held again this year, so you’ll be able to find cuisine from all over the world, but you will be required to eat and drink in a designated space.
