Yoyogi Park is transforming into Okinawa! An immersive outdoor festival will let you feel like you’ve traveled to the islands. On the music stage, artists with ties to Okinawa will fire up the crowd. Join the Okinawa Open-Air Classroom to learn about Okinawan culture in a participatory, lesson-style format, and if you master the Kachāshī dance, you’ll enjoy the live performances even more. You can snack on Okinawan dishes and drinks from over 40 vendors, and even pick up souvenirs normally only available locally.
