Tokyo events for Monday, October 31 to Sunday, November 6, 2022 On Monday, we welcome Halloween -- suitably on the most depressing day of the week and there are bound to be those still keeping up the spirit in Shibuya. After that, you'll see the whole of Tokyo throw off their masks and get ready for the holiday on Thursday (Culture Day). Along with, ramen shows, fireworks, and book festivals, it's turning out to be a pretty eventful week. Never miss a freebie! Sign up for our weekly events newsletter. Tokyo International Film Festival Don't miss the last three days of the 35st Tokyo International Film Festival. From Monday until Wednesday, they'll be holding free screenings of E.T.

Hakone Daimyo March One for history lovers, attend this feudal Japan–themed parade featuring samurai, geisha, warriors, dancers, marching bands, and even the daimyo himself.
