Tsukiji Honganji Temple Noryo Bon-odori 築地本願寺納涼盆踊り大会

3-15-1 Tsukiji, Chuo City, Tokyo
2023-8-2 - 2023-8-5

Note: The 2023 installment of this event has already taken place.

Each year the event attracts visitors from the neighborhood, across the country, and even outside Japan. Participants are invited to form a circle around the scaffold set up in the temple grounds and dance to a medley of songs including "Tsukiji Ondo." The scaffold also doubles as a bandstand for live taiko drum performances.

At certain times, you can dance in any costume of your choice and watch a thrilling performance by the percussion ensemble Oedo Sukeroku Taiko. Another highlight is the stalls run by restaurants based in and around the Tsukiji Outer Market. Enjoy both delicious Tsukiji cuisine and Japan's traditional Bon celebration.
In 2014, Tsukiji Honganji's main hall, three gates, and stone wall were designated as Important Cultural Properties of Japan.
