The charming neighbourhoods of Nezu and Sendagi flaunt their shitamachi (downtown) roots at this autumn festival, which marks its 27th edition this year. The action centres around Nezu Shrine, which is hosting concerts and performances throughout the weekend, accompanied by a flea market and stalls selling traditional goods.
The rest of the neighbourhood follows suit, with attractions including performances of traditional Japanese music and various dances at the Fureai-kan community centre on Shinobazu-dori. You can also take part in a stamp rally: pick up a stamp sheet and map at Nezu Shrine, tour the seven designated spots to fill up your sheet, and return it to the starting point for the chance to win prizes which include a roundtrip ticket to Hagi-Iwami Airport in Shimane prefecture, pair vouchers for Spa Laqua, and more.
