The biggest Italian festival in Japan, organized by the Italian Chamber of Commerce, is back. This year’s edition is held at Roppongi Hills Arena.
What happens?
The 2025 theme, Life is Beautiful, highlights the joys found in life’s simple pleasures — and so, naturally, the highlight of the event is authentic Italian cuisine.
Guest chefs will be on hand to prepare regional Italian dishes, from pizza and arancini to spritz and paninis. Also on the menu: wine and cheese, cocktails, live music, and shopping opportunities featuring top Italian brands.
Suggested Activity
Challenge Sumo Wrestlers and Enjoy Lunch
Eat, train, and fight like a real Japanese sumo wrestler during this sumo demonstration and authentic 'Chanko Nabe' (hotpot) meal.
See a stellar lineup of Italian and Japanese guest chefs and artists, offering engaging talks, cooking demonstrations, and live performances.
