Yukata de Ginbura

Aug 01, 2026 at 4:00pm ~ Aug 01, 2026 at 8:00pm

Yukata de Ginbura returns to Ginza this summer, inviting visitors to experience a summer festival in the heart of Tokyo while dressed in traditional yukata.

Held along the pedestrian-friendly Chuo-dori, around Ginza Six, the festival’s highlights include the Dai Ginza Bon Odori, the Ginza Famous Shops Stalls serving food from local businesses, and the return of the Ginza Cool Breeze Project, where traditional water sprinkling (uchimizu) and ice pillar displays help cool the streets.

There are also workshops, family-friendly activities, and special offers at participating shops for those wearing yukata.

Yukata de Ginbura began in 2007 as part of Ginza’s annual Holiday Promenade, which celebrates the introduction of Tokyo’s pedestrian zones in 1970. Held on Ginza’s car-free Chuo-dori, the event encourages visitors to enjoy the district in yukata while experiencing traditional Japanese summer culture.
