Held at the NHK Broadcasting Center beside Yoyogi Park, this two-day food festival is the place to sample Japanese regional cuisines from Hokkaido to Kyushu. This multi-zone food festival includes a food court with regional specialties cooked freshly on the spot, a market where you can shop for products and ingredients from across the country, and more. Now in its 18th year, Furushoku Matsuri aims to support areas that have suffered from recent disasters – this time, it’s the Tohoku and Kyushu regions.
