Any events on these dates?

Question

Hi!

I'm coming back to Tokyo on August 17-20 and was wondering if there are any other events or festivals on those dates? I already know about Summer Sonic! Thank you!

you're coming right during obon season which is a huge deal here, so a lot of places will have bon odori festivals in the evenings. the one at zojoji temple by tokyo tower is pretty iconic and usually runs around then, lots of food stalls and dancing. also check if the asakusa samba carnival is happening on the 19th or 20th, it's a wild parade down kaminarimon dori with tons of energy

The tokyo bay fireworks are on august 19th this year, right near odaiba. you can see them from the beach or grab a spot around palette town, but get there early if you want a good view. also worth checking if the roppongi art night is running that weekend, they do late openings at the museums and outdoor installations around the district.

fwiw there's the mitama matsuri at yasukuni shrine on the 17th-19th, they hang like 30k paper lanterns up everywhere and it looks amazing at night. it's a bit of a walk from kudanshita station but totally worth it. also the kyu yasuda gardens nearby do a special evening opening during it for like 500 yen.
