what’s on
The next seven days in Tokyo.
A short, hand-kept list — not a full calendar. We don’t try to list every gig and pop-up; we list the ones worth rearranging your week for. Updated daily.
A quieter week in Tokyo.
Nothing on our editor’s shortlist for the next seven days — we list events the way we list walks, with one ear to the ground rather than a firehose. We’ll be back with picks soon. Meanwhile, the city is still walkable: here are four routes that read well any day of the week.

Four walks for an empty week.
Akihabara: electric town and the old centre
The electronics towers, the shrine on the hill, and the brick arches under the trains.
Asakusa: Senso-ji and the river
The great temple, the lantern, the backstreets, and the Skytree across the water.
Azabu-Juban: the old shopping street and the red tower
A down-to-earth shotengai, the 1958 tower, and the great temple it rises behind.
Daikanyama & Nakameguro: the grown-up west
The Tsutaya bookshop, the Maki terraces, and the canal of cherry trees down the hill.
