Yukata de Gin-bura Festival 2024 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 Chuo-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 Chuo-dori Street each year when it closes 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 18th 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 into the night for the first time! Ginza-dori Street will host Dai-Ginza Bon Odori dancing and stalls run by famous Ginza-area stores.
The popular “Ginza Cool Breeze Project: Uchimizu” will also be held.
There will also be many other new programs and special offers available for 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.
