Summer festivals in Japan are an enchanting and vibrant displays of culture and tradition, and you'll find them taking place across the country, from bustling city streets to quaint rural towns. The Toyosu Summer Festival is set to provide all the fun of a quintessential summer event, with popular foods like yakisoba and kakigori available to purchase, festival games such as yo-yo fishing and ring toss, bon odori dancing, and more.
If you're concerned about the temperature being too warm to enjoy such an event, never fear – the festival will also incorporate the traditional practice of uchimizu, which involves sprinkling water on the ground as a way to cool the area through evaporation.
Getting there
The event takes place at Urban LaLaport Toyosu, which is located an easy three minutes on foot from Toyosu Station. The station is served by the Tokyo Metro Yurakucho Line and the Yurikamome Line.
