Tokyo Tower’s annual koinobori (carp, or koi fish, streamers) event sees over three hundred fishes flapping in the wind for Children’s Day.
Make a day of it and head up Tokyo Tower to see the carp from above. Save money if you book online.
What happens?
Exactly 333 colorful carp streamers will be hung around the iconic Tokyo Tower, making for vivid and eye-catching photos. You may ask, Why 333? That’s because the tower is exactly 333 meters high, and all good things come in threes.
