Tokyo Bursting with Autumn Festivities: Your Guide to Must-See Events
Tokyo this week is overflowing with energy, creativity, and autumn excitement, so if you are looking for inspiration on what to do, here is your personal guide to the city’s must-see events from today through the end of the weekend and beyond.
First, tonight, for a scene straight out of premodern Japan, Shinjuku Gyoen hosts the Mori no Takigi Noh, an annual evening filled with the haunting beauty of torchlit Noh theatre. To catch tickets and times, contact the Shinjuku City Tourist Association or check the official listing. For those craving a late taste of summer, the Tamagawa Fireworks Festival lights up the Futako-Tamagawa riverside this Saturday night from 6 to 7 pm. Grab your spot early for the chance to watch one of Tokyo’s final breathtaking fireworks displays of the year, all set to music—admission is totally free, just bring a picnic and friends.
Art and culture lovers should dive right into the Performing Arts Festival “Autumn Meteorite 2025,” running now through November 3. Hosted at venues across Tokyo, it showcases innovative Japanese and international productions, blending traditional and cutting-edge performances. If you’re in the mood for something cinematic, the 38th Tokyo International Film Festival is just around the corner, launching on October 27. Expect red-carpet glam and open-air screenings at Roppongi Hills and more.
Foodies, mark your calendars for two essential happenings. The Tokyo Ramen Festa at Komazawa Olympic Park is coming up from October 23 to November 3, with dozens of Japan’s best ramen makers dishing out both regional classics and special event-only styles. For fans of world flavors, Taste of Tokyo fills various venues from October 24 to 26 with food stalls representing Tokyo’s diverse culinary scene, from sashimi to curry, alongside all-important sake and craft beer.
Cosplay and anime fans will not want to miss the Ikebukuro Halloween Cosplay Festival from October 24 to 26. As one of the city’s biggest cosplay gatherings, IKEHALO invites participants to join parades, enjoy live stage shows, and snap photos with fellow fans in the electric streets of Ikebukuro. Tickets are available for each day, or as a full-weekend pass.
Traditional festival lovers should check out the Yanaka Matsuri, held this weekend in the historic Yanaka neighborhood. Expect street processions with portable shrines, eclectic performances, and local flavor from food stalls to handmade crafts—a great window into old Tokyo.
Disney fans, don’t forget that Halloween fever is in full swing at Tokyo Disneyland and DisneySea until the end of October, with unique decorations, special parades, and seasonal treats all across the parks.
That’s just a taste of what’s happening in Tokyo as autumn unfolds. Thanks for tuning in—be sure to subscribe so you never miss what’s next. This has been a Quiet Please production, for more check out quiet please dot ai.
