Feel the breeze of 1,000 windmills at Tokyo Midtown Hibiya’s annual outdoor summer fest. This picturesque event features a large dome adorned with over a thousand colourful windmills made from unused clear files from the shopping centre’s tenants. Come evening, the dome as well as the staircase at the plaza are lit up with blue and white lights, while cooling mist envelopes the area to create a mesmerising sight.
More importantly, the summer festival is hosting several Japanese performances at the open-air stage in Hibiya Step Square. Don’t miss the Iwami Kagura dance-theatre from Shimane Prefecture on August 10 as well as the other regional dance performances such as Tokushima Awa Odori (August 11), Kagoshima Ohara (August 12), Okinawa Eisa (August 17) and Hokkaido Soran (August 18). The above-mentioned performances will be held twice a day at 3pm and 5pm.
