For music lovers, the energy level soars at Lunatic Fest 2025 at Makuhari Messe, continuing today. This iconic event is famous for bringing together top Japanese rock acts and promises electric performances, wild visuals, and a festival vibe where fans gather to celebrate in style, according to the Lunatic Fest concert page.

If you’re looking to explore Japanese tradition, November brings the lively Tori-no-Ichi festival to various shrines across the city. These iconic open-air markets and shrine fairs are easily identified by their extravagant decorated “kumade” bamboo rakes believed to bring good luck and prosperity. Stalls overflow with festival food and charm, making it a memorable slice of local culture for visitors and families alike, as highlighted by Japan Travel.
