SEPTEMBER | AKASAKA HIKAWA FESTIVAL

A medium scaled, community festival hosted by the Hikawa Shrine, the Hikawa Festival is a fun, energetic festival for the local neighborhood in mid-September. It’s held over three days from Friday - Sunday and features traditional carnival games, food stalls, dancing and music. The main attraction comes on the last day - Sunday - when they parade around a traditional wheeled float that can be raised to about 5 meters tall.

Entrance fee: Depends on option
