32nd Kappabashi Kitchen Tools Festival

Back for its 32nd edition this year, the Dogu Matsuri is an annual festival held in Kappabashi, the wholesale district between Ueno and Asakusa that specialises in tools and kitchen supplies for the restaurant business. The festival will feature a variety of attractions, including a memorial service for tools, a big raffle where everyone wins a prize, a tool market full of great deals, performances by taiko drummers and a kids' brass band, cheerleaders and much more. Many shops in the area will offer discounts and bargain-priced services, so if it's kitchen gear you're after, this will be a good time to visit.
