Time Out says
The Gessoji summer festival is a small Kichijoji classic, taking place on the temple grounds and along the Sun Road shopping arcade on the north side of the station, and featuring everything from bon odori performances to a watermelon-cutting competition, as well as the obligatory stalls hawking matsuri food and drink.
