The 6 Best Exhibitions in Tokyo, Kanto

May 21, 2021 Lashaunda Abraham

Tradition collides with pop culture in Tokyo, where you can reverently wander ancient temples before rocking out at a karaoke bar. Wake up before the sun to catch the lively fish auction at the Tsukiji Market, then refresh with a walk beneath the cherry blossom trees that line the Sumida River. Spend some time in the beautiful East Gardens of the Imperial Palace, then brush up on your Japanese history at the Edo-Tokyo Museum. Don’t forget to eat as much sushi, udon noodles, and wagashi (Japanese sweets) as your belly can handle.

Tokyo Motor Show

A biennial exhibition for automobiles and motorcycles, the Tokyo Motor Show is more than just a car show. It's a chance for big name brands to bust out their new concept pieces, show off innovative futuristic technology, and debut their most revolutionary ideas. Most of the cars on display aren't commercial models, but rather, trailblazing mock-ups and prototypes that give a clue as to where the auto world is heading, and what progress we might see down the line. Cutting edge and cool, it's one of the world's biggest shows of this nature.

This quilt show is huge, packed with vendors and people, and a fabulous stop for any quilter. American quilters will be fascinated by the entirely hand quilted quilts, and the many interesting Japanese fabrics, both new and used, for sale. Also, what quilt show in the US has wine tasting, a tea house, sells ceramics and tea, and has entertainment. You can also meet the Japanese designer/quilters at many of the exhibits. Bring an extra bag for your purchases. Vendors will try, with a smile, to understand non Japanese speaking visitors. A highlight on my trip to Japan.
