Nihonbashi Kidai-Matsuri Edo Asobi – Traditional Culture Festival

Get a taste of traditional Japanese performing arts and culture at this weekend festival taking place around Nihonbashi's Coredo Muromachi complex and the Fukutoku Garden. In addition to daily street shows, you'll be able to look forward to stage performances and kid-friendly workshops on October 8 and 9, plus a collaborative display of traditional dance, music and kyogen (comic theatre) called Momiji Nihonbashi on October 9 (from 4.30pm, ¥3,800/¥2,500 for students, at Nihonbashi Mitsui Hall). Should be a fun one, even if you can't quite tell your butoh from your bunraku.
