Tokyo events for Monday, April 28 to Sunday, May 4, 2025. This week we are treated to not one, not two, but three public holidays: Shōwa Day, Constitution Memorial Day, and Greenery Day. (Don’t worry, there will be plenty more next week too.)This means you can expect a lot of traditional annual festivals held at shrines and temples around Tokyo, including the very popular Meiji Shrine. What else? Giant kites, gun shows, food fairs, and acrobatics on ladders.
