Here's what's going down around Tokyo and Yokohama over the weekend:
1️⃣ Sankeien Garden Moon Viewing (Sept 25–29)📍 Sankeien Garden, YokohamaThey light up the historic buildings and have live Gagaku and Koto music playing through the grounds. Definitely save this one for a date night.
2️⃣ Hadano Tobacco Festival (Sept 26–27)📍 Hadano Station AreaThe biggest festival Hadano throws. It’s a bit further out, so treat it as a real day trip. Very few foreign tourists make it out here, so it has a great unfiltered feel.
3️⃣ Fujisawa Citizen’s Festival (Sept 26–27)📍 Fujisawa Station AreaA massive local festival. If you live anywhere in the Shonan area, this is the easy option that doesn’t require sitting on a train for an hour.
4️⃣ Marine Park Umiko Festival (Sept 27)📍 Marine Park, YokohamaYokohama’s only bathing beach is hosting a mikoshi parade and food stalls, combined with a beach cleaning activity. Good way to finish out beach season by actually helping the coast.
📌 Save this post so you actually remember where to go this weekend.
