Tsukiji Honganji Bon Dance Festival

Free
Tsukiji

Dance to the beat of the taiko drums—or just watch—at this annual Bon dance festival at Tsukiji Honganji temple. As a bonus of being so close to the gourmet hot spots of Tsukiji Market and Ginza, there will be various restaurants with stalls selling better-than-average festival fare. They also have a costume competition which leads to some pretty unusual dance partners… This year it’s on the 2nd. The dancing takes place from 7pm – 9pm on all days except the 3rd, when it runs from 6pm to 8.30pm.
