Kaminarimon Gate at the entrance of Sensoji Temple in Asakusa is about to get even more crowded with a Bon Odori festival on September 9. Expect to see men and women in yukata dancing on a yagura turret decked out with paper lanterns.
The festivities will run from 6pm to 8pm, so feel free to join in. Those who arrive early can enjoy a performance by the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force Band from 5.10pm to 5.50pm.
