Edo-Tokyo Open Air Architectural Museum is staying open until 8.30pm for just two days on August 5 and 6. You’ll get to experience a Showa-style summer festival at this nostalgic attraction filled with historical and heritage buildings.
Kids can participate in a mikoshi (portable shrine) parade from 6pm (both days) and enjoy games like target shooting and yo-yo fishing. Adults, on the other hand, can kick back with a live musical performance of bamboo instruments by Tokyo Takutakedan and watch a demonstration of how Edo Kiriko glass is made.
Parts of the museum grounds will be lit up, with a few of the buildings operating as shops selling drinks, retro stationery and flowers. There will also be plenty of food trucks to keep you satiated throughout the night, including a dagashi vendor offering old-school Japanese snacks.
