Get your dancing shoes on at this Bon Odori festival that takes place on a tree-lined pedestrian-only street in front of the Kaminarimon Gate, a symbol of Asakusa. The event features a wide range of music, from classics of the Bon Odori genre to popular songs that everyone can sing along to, inviting people of all ages and nationalities to join in the dancing. Ornate lanterns sent from the city of Yuzawa in Akita Prefecture add color to the venue, and when the lights are lit, envelop it in a magical atmosphere. Savor the end of summer while soaking up the charm of Tokyo’s old downtown.
