Coming on like a turbocharged version of the free festivals that take place in Yoyogi Park throughout the year, the annual Furusato Matsuri gives a chance for prefectures around Japan to dazzle Tokyoites with their culture – and, of course, their food. There'll be stalls hawking everything from saké to seafood, with special sections devoted to donburi rice bowls and fancy desserts. When you've sated your appetite (or tired of fighting through the mobs of drooling gastronomes who flock to the event each year), you can sit back and watch large-scale recreations of popular festivals like the Aoyama Nebuta Matsuri and Okinawa Zento Esia Matsuri.
Open Jan 7-15
Time Mon-Fri 10am-7pm, Sat-Sun & hols 10am-8pm
