Succulent crab legs, salmon roe rice bowls and uni (sea urchin) croquettes are just some of the mouthwatering bites you’ll find at the Sakana & Japan Festival. Happening from February 20 to 23, this four-day event at Yoyogi Park Event Square is one of Tokyo’s largest seafood festivals, where you can feast on fish, crustaceans and the like to your heart’s content.
While details for the 2026 event are yet to be released, expect to see around 60 stalls offering hot dishes like oyster ajillo, ayu skewers, nodoguro (blackthroat seaperch) rice bowls and niboshi (seafood broth) ramen to keep you going on a cold winter day. You’ll also find interesting dishes such as scallop macaroni casserole and a fried cod burger, which will definitely appease serious foodies. Whatever your choice, you can always wash it all down with sake or beer.
Entry to the festival is free. You can pay for meals with cash or e-payment options, including credit card (contactless), Suica, Pasmo and PayPay.
