September 2025 events, festivals and things to do in Tokyo

We are nearing the end of Japan's scorching, humid summer – fingers crossed – so get ready for all things autumn in Tokyo with our pick of the best events this September. If you have yet to catch any of the Japanese summer festivals, this is the probably the last month you could do so, as there are still some Bon Odori happening around town.

While September usually brings with it a scatter of rain and the occasional typhoon, don't let that dampen your mood. This month sees some of Tokyo's most interesting outdoor art exhibitions and traditional street festivals. So scroll down our currated list of September events, mark down the dates in your calendar, and get ready for a wonderful time in Tokyo.
