A Bon Odori dance and a splash of water define this matsuri (Japanese festival) right in front of Tokyo Station.
What happens?
The main things to see are the big Bon Odori dance and Uchimizu, where water is thrown onto the sidewalks using traditional buckets to cool down the street. Along with those events, there will be stalls selling popular types of kakigori (shaved ice). These events take place along Gyoko-Dori Avenue.
There will also be a free yukata dressing service if you bring your own.
