Launched in 2012, Tokyo Rainbow Pride - now named ‘Tokyo Pride’ - has grown into the largest and most diverse Pride celebration in Japan, always offering a fantastic opportunity to be a part of the country’s journey towards a more equal future. The 2025 edition is themed ‘Same Life, Same Rights’ and will be jam-packed with educational seminars, late-night parties, social gatherings and, of course, the ever-growing Rainbow Pride Parade and Festival, bringing together people from all walks of life.
This year’s Pride Festival will be held in Yoyogi Park over the weekend of June 7 and 8, with the parade set to take over Shibuya and Harajuku on June 8 from 12noon, starting at Shibuya Plaza and ending at Yoyogi Park. Registration for the parade will be open on the day at the same venue (look for the registration booth).
The festival will feature an appropriately diverse array of food and drink stalls along with booths set up by the many corporations, organisations and community groups sponsoring the event, plus plenty of live entertainment from local talent to keep you entertained.
