Even the office/nightlife district of Roppongi has its own local neighborhood festival.
What happens?
The gods enshrined at Tenso Shrine — located between Tokyo Midtown and the National Art Center — go for a spin around the neighborhood in their fancy (little) portable shrines on the Sunday starting at 12:30 p.m.
The official name of the festival is the Tensojinja Reitaisai.
Suggested Activity
Experience the Traditional Art of Kintsugi
Looking for something different? Try a kintsugi class in Tokyo. Kintsugi is the art of repairing old pottery with gold. In this one-hour workshop, you'll learn the delicate art of gold repair, and create your own unique souvenir to take home. You'll even dress in samue, the traditional outfit of craftsmen.
Schedule
The festival typically takes place on the fourth Sunday of September each year.
Organizers may cancel events, alter schedules, or change admission requirements without notice. Always check official sites before heading to an event.
