Kaminarimon Gate at the entrance of Sensoji Temple in Asakusa is about to get livelier with a Bon Odori festival on September 7. Expect to see crowds in yukata dancing around a yagura turret decked out with paper lanterns.
The festivities will run from 6pm to 8pm, so feel free to join in. Kaminarimon Ichonomiya Street will also be lined with colourful lanterns featuring paintings of ladies in kimono on Friday and Saturday from 5pm to 8pm.
