A spin-off of the annual Furusato Matsuri – usually held at the beginning of the year at Tokyo Home – Gotochi Furusato Weekend offers a curated slice of Japan's regional culture with a two-day programme of performances, workshops and pop-ups. In addition to watching shows like the traditional yosakoi dance and playing old-school matsuri (Japanese festival) games, you'll have the opportunity to engage with friendly mascots, each representing a different part of Japan.
There will also be a host of food trucks and snack stands serving regional delicacies to keep you satiated between activities. For those interested in craft beverages, El Camion by T.Y. Harbor Brewery will be on-site, offering a selection of craft beers. More interested in sake? Don't miss the Gotochi Yoidore Market space, where you'll be able to try different types of nihonshu from breweries all over Japan.
The event runs from 10am to 5pm.
