This Week: Tokyo Area Events for April 10 – 16

Our Planet, Our Duty

Earth Day Tokyo

Take your first step in saving the planet at Yoyogi Park this weekend. This two-day Earth Day event brings charities, NGOs and eco-friendly businesses together to bring awareness to environmental issues. Of course, you can also just go for the great live music and healthy organic food fair. Either way, it's worth it.

All You Can Eat Vegan

Tokyo Vegan Gourmet Festival

The largest vegan festival in Tokyo, here you can find not only all-you-can-eat vegan food from across Japan, but also booths selling natural, organic and gluten-free products, in addition to a number of great events, including open-air yoga and more.

Eco Lifestyle

Earth Garden 2023

Join ecologists and free minded Tokyo hippies for a yet another celebration of Earth Garden, one of the best known eco-conscious events in the capital. There'll be plenty of stalls, food booths, talk sessions and workshops, as well as stage performances and good music. Bring your own cups and plates, or buy some at the venue for discounts.

Spanish Food Fiesta

Paella Tapas Festival 2023

Come with an empty stomach and get full on the best of the city's paella, tapas and sweets from sunny Spain at this massive Spanish food festival. You'll also get the chance to vote for your favorite paella, but consider yourself warned — there'll be plenty to choose from!

The Next Best Thing To Sakura

Chichibu Shibazakura 2023

Head to Hitsujiyama Park in Chichibu for an alternative, yet equally mesmerizing hanami experience: shibazakura, or moss phlox. The annual Chichibu Shibazakura Festival features some 400,000 fully bloomed moss phlox arranged in various shapes and swirls that stretch over four acres of the Shibazakura Hill, creating a scene right out of a painting. The festival runs until May, but the sooner you go the better!

Musical: Matilda

Daiwa House presents The Royal Shakespeare Company Production in Matilda The Musical. Sing along to songs about Matilda, special little girl who navigates a world where grown ups make all the rules. Find out how she discovers how to even the odds and sets herself free.

Blooming Entertainment

Sakura Aquarium By Naked

Produced by digital art masters Naked Inc, the team behind the ultra-popular show Flowers by Naked, this high-tech aquarium will be glowing in a variety of cherry blossom-inspired audiovisual programs and projection mapping played during the day and later in the evening. The entire aquarium will be celebrating the arrival of spring and there's really no other indoor event as Instagrammable as this one.
