It requires a little adventure beyond Tokyo to get to this annual festival of Japanese wind chimes (fūrin).
What happens?
Craftsmen from all over Japan gather in Kawasaki to display and sell thousands of these chimes, which sooth your soul as they ring in the summer breeze.
You can also bring old bells to their recycling corner and enjoy the festival food offerings. Plus, entrance is free — music to our (Cheapo) ears.
