What an exciting time to be in Tokyo! If you're looking for things to do this week, you're in for a treat with some incredible events happening right now.

Today marks a historic moment at Tokyo DisneySea with the preview performance of a brand new stage show called Dance the World Away. This is the first new stage show at Waterfront Park in about twelve years, and it's spectacular. The show features diverse dances and music from around the world, showcasing tropical, European festival, and Latin rhythms. You'll see Mickey and dancers performing alongside Disney characters like Mirabel from Encanto, Rapunzel from Tangled, and Hiro from Big Hero 6. The show runs about twenty-five minutes and there are multiple performances daily, so you can catch it multiple times if you want. Plus, during the park's twenty-fifth anniversary celebration, special effects and fireworks build to a stunning climax.

If you're into the stage show experience, DisneySea is also running the Jubilee Celebration in Mediterranean Harbor, where Mickey and friends dressed in jubilee blue board ornately decorated boats to greet guests. The whole park is adorned in celebratory jubilee blue with decorations and Mickey-shaped emblems throughout. After dark, the exterior of Hotel MiraCosta features a dazzling projection show synchronized with the anniversary theme song.

Looking ahead to the weekend, you absolutely cannot miss BLACKPINK performing at Tokyo Dome on Saturday, January seventeenth. The K-pop superstars are bringing their two thousand twenty-five World Tour to Tokyo, so if you're a fan, this is your chance to see them live.

Also this weekend, sumo fans should check out the January Grand Sumo Tournament happening in Tokyo. Japan's six-tournament sumo season kicks off mid-January, and this is a fantastic opportunity to experience traditional Japanese sports at their finest.

If you prefer something more low-key, the Setagaya Boroichi traditional flea market runs January fifteenth and sixteenth, featuring almost seven hundred vendors selling food and all sorts of merchandise. This fair has been running for over four hundred years and offers an authentic glimpse into Tokyo's shopping culture.
