What to expect from the food stalls
You can try food from restaurants across Katsushika all in one place. The ward describes this as its largest food event; last year’s festival attracted approximately 78,000 visitors over two days.
The poster gives a taste of the event, but the announcement does not list menus by restaurant. Treat the pictured dishes as promotional imagery rather than a confirmed list of what you can order. If you have allergies or dietary requirements, confirm ingredients with the relevant stall before buying.

Saturday combines school performances with a BEYBLADE X stage and live music. Sunday includes LiLiCo’s acoustic set, comedy and the festival’s Grand Prix awards ceremony. All times below are local Japan time.

Planning your visit
Choose your day around the stage programme. For BEYBLADE X or Monchhichi, plan for Saturday. For LiLiCo’s acoustic performance, Sunday’s listed start time is 1:10 p.m. The announcement gives start times, so check official information if you need to know how long a particular performance lasts.
Leave some flexibility between eating and watching a performance. Last year’s attendance suggests allowing extra time is sensible, although no queue estimates or quieter periods have been announced.
If you are combining the festival with other stops around Tokyo, our Tokyo Metro 28-hour ticket guide can help you check another transport option for your wider itinerary. The festival’s listed access route is via JR, so check coverage separately before choosing a pass.
For a day spent using maps and taking photos, you can also read our d VALUE PASS and ChargeSPOT rental guide. Check rental locations independently; the festival announcement does not list an on-site service.
Card users may find our guide to choosing a first credit card in Japan useful for everyday spending. For this event, however, card and mobile-payment acceptance remain unconfirmed—check with each stall before ordering.
