The Tokyo Midtown shopping complex in Roppongi is hosting a series of family-friendly outdoor events to mark this year’s Golden Week. The Koinobori (carp streamers) Gallery is a notable highlight, as it features a joyous display of colourful fish-shaped wind socks designed by artists and creatives from across the globe.
Expect to see over a hundred unique renditions of these Children’s Day koinobori carp streamers fluttering in the wind above the Midtown Gardens. If you’re feeling particularly crafty, head to the second floor of the Galleria building nearby, where you can participate in a workshop to create your very own mini carp streamer. This activity (¥1,000) is available on Saturday, Sunday and during the Golden Week holiday.
Admission to the Koinobori Gallery is free. However, the space may be closed in case of inclement weather.
