The annual moon-viewing festival at Tomioka Hachimangu Shrine returns this weekend with captivating stage performances, beautiful light-ups and tasty local cuisine.
For four days, the Fukagawa Jugoya Festival will celebrate the harvest moon with a packed performance schedule featuring shamisen and biwa performances as well as Balinese gamelan, Spanish flamenco and more.
Besides stage shows, you can also expect food stalls selling Fukagawa-meshi, a local rice dish cooked with clams and broth. Visit in the evening to savour this local dish at the beautifully illuminated shrine, as this makes for the perfect moon-viewing experience in Tokyo.
