Okinawa Festival

Music, food, local specialities and traditional crafts from Japan's chilled-out holiday destination of choice are on parade in Yoyogi Park at this free festival, which now returns for its ninth edition. Head to the stage to catch performances by Okinawan artists, dancers and manzai comedians, or hit the food stall area for soba, spam, Orion beer and maybe even some mimigaa (pig's ears).
