Tokyo Pride 2027

Tokyo Pride celebrates Tokyo’s LGBTQ+ community.

No matter your gender or sexual orientation, anyone can enjoy the parades and events. These include performances and booths in Yoyogi Park for LGBTQ+-friendly businesses as well as the annual parade.

What happens?

The Pride Parade happens on Sunday, June 7, and follows an approximately 3 km route around the Harajuku/Shibuya area. Like any good Pride Parade, participants march and ride on floats while dressed in outfits as diverse as the community itself. If you’ve never celebrated Pride in Japan, here’s your annual opportunity.
