Around the world this Golden Week... on the train!

I would love to be going away this Golden Week, but between the kid's schedule, my husbands work and, frankly, budget, its not to be. We have a lot on this Golden Week, but if you are free this Golden Week and would like something different to do, how about a trip around the world right in the Greater Tokyo area! 

Around the world this Golden Week

A selection of international events or attractions, near train stations, in the Greater Tokyo area this Golden Week. 

Taiwan

You can get a taste of Taiwan at the Taiwan festival currently on at Tokyo Skytree town. The festival is on until June 1st. This is a traveling festival that has been received very well in other locations over the years.

Cambodia

The annual Cambodia festival is on in Yoyogi park on May 3rd and 4th.

Italy

Close to Shiodome Station there is an area called "Little Italy", where you can get a feel and taste of Italy all year round.

France

The Isetan near Shinjuku Sanchome station currently have a France fair. Reportedly there is a chef visiting from France for the occasion. The desserts and breads look absolutely delicious. It is only on until April 29th, so go promptly if you want to pick some French cuisine up.

Germany

Right now there is a "fruhlings" festa, like a German spring festival with German beer and food, on at the Redbrick Warehouse in Yokohama. It started today, April 25th, and is on until May 6th.

Hawaii

The Hawaiian Days event is on in Minami machi,at Grandberry, until May 6th. Last year this event attracted around half a million people!

Turkey

You can pick up some authentic Turkish ice-cream at the annual ice-cream expo in Koshigaya, Saitama (but very close to Tokyo) from today until May 6th 2025.

Will you go to any of these events this year? Do you know of any other international events on this Golden Week in the Greater Tokyo area?
