Even though I wasn't in the best location (behind instead of in front), it was still really fun to watch!

The Koenji Awaodori takes place every year at the end of August, and features a weekend where dozens of performing groups dance in the streets for hours. The street dances officially start at 5PM, but I highly recommend going there earlier in the day as there are often impromptu shows popping up all around the town (I managed to film brief video of one which I'll upload to Youtube soon).
There are also theater performances, but I have yet to catch one of these – next year for sure!
If you're in Tokyo, you can still catch the last day of performances tomorrow – definitely an experience worth trying!
For better images, check out +Jason Arney 's stream – he's been shooting these for a couple years now and knows more about them than I ever will.
In my case, I'm extra excited about seeing his book getting published because he will be using one of my images as the cover! So I can't wait to finally get to read it 🙂
Good night from Tokyo!?
