Starts with Fireworks and Ends with Bon Dance: Tokyo Midsummer 2026 Walking Tour [4K/HDR]

Bon or Obon season has arrived in Japan, bringing a special summer atmosphere to Tokyo. As many people leave the city to visit their hometowns, Tokyo feels a little quieter than usual. At the same time, summer traditions like fireworks and Bon dancing bring people together across the city. In today’s Tokyo walking tour, we start with the Jingu Gaien Fireworks and end with Bon dance right in the heart of Shibuya. Join me for a summer night in Tokyo and experience two classic Japanese summer traditions.
