Azabu-Juban Noryo Festival
One of Tokyo's favourite traditional festivals, the annual Azabu-Juban Noryo Matsuri (‘noryo’ translates as 'cool of the evening') has been going on for over 50 years now. The festival is returning this year on August 22 and 23 at Patio Juban Square, the nearby Amishiro Park and along the streets of the fashionable Azabu-Juban shopping district.
There will be plenty of dancing, performances and live music, along with food and game stalls, some of which are set up by local businesses. While details for 2026 are yet to be announced, expect the nearby Juban Inari-jinja shrine to host an ohayashi festival music performance, accompanied by Ise Ondo folk dancing. Dust off your yukata and prepare to mingle among the crowds.
