Of course the Tokyo area encompasses a huge portion of Japan, and Tokyoites often hop on a train out of the metropolis to spend a little time relaxing outside of the downtown neighborhoods. Join the locals for a slightly different Tokyo experience.
The Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine Wind Chime Festival is a summer celebration that stretches into early September, off in Saitama Prefecture. The shrine itself is a popular spot for couples, since it's supposed to bring luck to relationships, but in recent years visitors have started going just for the windchimes. Rows and rows of windchimes ring out in the breeze and make up a pretty photogenic background, perfect for an evening stroll. See more pictures of the shrine in our article on the place.
The Red Bull Air Race World Championship takes place in Chiba Prefecture, Japan's birthplace of civil aviation. It's a fantastic chance to spend the day outside, as you watch high-speed, specially built racing airplanes whizz through a low-altitude aerial course, going at speeds up to 370 km/h (230 mph) while carefully navigating around inflatable pylons floating on Makuhari Bay.
Take a Tokyo Bay Summer Night Cruise in a yukata, for a refreshing evening adventure. Enjoy your time on the water, as the cool nighttime breeze rushes by. Rent a yukata before you go for a discount on tickets and an especially fun Japanese night, and then enjoy the drinks and snacks on board.
Bonus Event! – Tokyo Edo Week
