Kagurazaka is coming alive with a variety of activities happening between October 11 and November 3. Its main “Painting on the Hill” event on November 3 is returning this year for the 27th time. The entire 700 metre-long Kagurazaka-dori street will be lined with a long roll of white paper for everyone to draw and paint on for free. Painting tools and equipment will be provided every few metres so you can contribute to this piece of community art.
On October 26, visit Bishamonten Zenkokuji Temple for the Kagurazaka Art Square. Local artists will exhibit their work from paintings, calligraphy and illustrations to installations, paper cutouts, photography and prints. Visitors, however, are encouraged to vote for their favourite pieces from 10am to 4pm.
Note that the painting event on November 3 may be cancelled in the event of rain.
