About this spot
The 2026 Sumida Ward Summer Cooling Festival Folk Dance Festival runs for 3 days from August 1-3, 6 PM-8 PM, at Solamachi Plaza in Tokyo Skytree Town. This folk dance festival, cherished by Sumida Ward residents, transforms the plaza beneath the towering broadcasting tower into a festive venue with lanterns, as families in yukata and local residents form circles to dance. The opening day on August 1st provides the perfect finale to a day spent exploring the aquarium and Asakusa, offering a heartfelt summer evening unique to downtown Sumida Ward.
