March – it's when spring in Tokyo kicks off in earnest, with outdoor events returning after the cold of winter. More importantly though, March is usually when the cherry blossom front finally reaches the city, throwing us Tokyoites into a hanami frenzy and disrupting the calm and collected surface of the metropolis. Furthermore, this month also features highlights like St Patrick's Day and Hinamatsuri (Girls' Day). Make sure you don't miss out with our guide to the top events going on in Tokyo this March.
Held every second and fourth Sunday of the month, this antique market gathers around 70 vendors outside Shibuya Garden Tower. You’ll find all sorts of antiques and vintage handicrafts, jewellery, art, home goods, clothing, plants and organic food from all over the world. The market also features a few food and drink stalls, perfect for when you want a breather from all the shopping.
Note that the market will be cancelled in the case of rain.
