Yukata de Gin-bura Festival 2026 (Saturday, August 1 ) Event Information

Turning areas into vehicle-free promenade in Tokyo first began in August 1970 in the areas of Ginza, Shinjuku, Ikebukuro, and Asakusa. In Ginza, the area on Ginza-dori Street between the Ginza-dori Entrance intersection at Ginza 1-chome and the Ginza 8-chome intersection has been closed to traffic on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays. We have been holding events under the name of Holiday Promenade on Ginza-dori Street each year when it is closed to traffic to commemorate the vehicle-free promenade and give visitors to Ginza a fun summer day to enjoy.

The Yukata de Gin-bura Festival began in 2007 as one part of this Holiday Promenade to have people come to Ginza wearing a yukata, also a special summer tradition, and enjoy a moment of coolness. This year marks the 20th installment of the event.
Please take advantage of this wonderful opportunity to enjoy the Ginza district in summer to your heart’s content.

This year’s Yukata de Gin-bura will be held on Ginza-dori Street (Chuo-dori Street) starting at 14:00 with the Dai-Ginza Bon-Odori dance and stalls run by famous Ginza-area stores. Delicious food from famous shops and restaurants that can only be found in Ginza will be served at food stalls on Ginza-dori Street.
In addition to the return of the popular “Uchimizu” (water-spraying) event after a two-year hiatus, there will also be numerous events that parents and children can enjoy together, including rides in police cars, ladder trucks, and fire engines, as well as craftmaking workshops activities for children.

In addition, there will be many new programs and special offers available to attendees wearing yukata.
Local commercial facilities are also holding events at this time, so be sure to check them out!
Put on your yukata and enjoy the fun of Ginza in the summer.
