One of Tokyo's favourite traditional festivals, the annual Azabu-Juban Noryo Matsuri (‘noryo’ translates as 'cool of the evening') has been going on for over 50 years now. The festival is returning this year on August 24 and 25 at Patio Juban Square, the nearby Ichinohashi Park and along the streets of the fashionable Azabu-Juban shopping district.
There will be plenty of dancing, performances and live music, along with food and game stalls, some of which are set up by local businesses. Additionally, the Tokyo Craft Beer Festival will be held concurrently over at Ichinohashi Park, perfect for cooling off with a refreshing pint on a hot summer evening. Dust off your yukata and prepare to mingle among the crowds.
