Mid-summer is synonymous with obon, the traditional Japanese festival of the dead – and where there's obon, there's usually dancing. Get in on the action at one of Tokyo's more established obon festivals, held across four evenings at Tsukiji Honganji temple. There'll be taiko drumming and group dancing every night, while August 2 – for reasons that we can't quite determine – has been designated 'fancy dress day'.
65th Tsukiji Honganji Bon Dance Festival
