  • Summary

  • Welcome to 'Things to do in Tokyo' on this lovely Sunday, February 16, 2025 As we step into the heart of February, Tokyo is beginning to hint at the arrival of spring, even though the winter chill still lingers. Today, the weather is partly cloudy with a comfortable temperature of 15°C and excellent air quality, making it a perfect day to explore this vibrant city.

    Let's dive into some of the exciting events happening today. If you're interested in cultural experiences, head over to Yoyogi Park Events Square for the Tokushima Tourism & Products Fair in Tokyo. This free event, running from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM, is a great opportunity to discover the rich culture and products of Tokushima.

    For art enthusiasts, the Yebisu International Festival For Art & Alternative Visions 2025 is wrapping up its final day today. Held at the Tokyo Photographic Art Museum and other venues in Ebisu Garden Place, this festival features visual art exhibitions, movies, and dance performances. Admission is free, although some programs may require a fee.

    If you're looking for something unique and fun, visit the Oedo Antique Market at the Tokyo International Forum Event Space. This treasure hunting event, inspired by traditional European flea markets, runs from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM and is free to attend. It's a great place to find rare antiques and handmade items.

    In terms of local news, Tokyo is always buzzing with new developments. For instance, the city is enhancing its post-quake support system by pre-designating local governments to provide relief personnel to other prefectures, ensuring better preparedness for natural disasters[3].

    For must-do activities today, consider visiting the Marunouchi Illuminations, one of Tokyo's longest-running light-up events. Although it ends today, it's still a magical experience walking down the champagne-coloured, fairy light-strewn Naka-dori. If you're in the mood for something more seasonal, the Setagaya Plum Blossom Festival is another great option to enjoy the early blooms of spring[5].

    Here’s a local tip: When navigating Tokyo, use the efficient public transit system, but don't forget to download a transit app like Google Maps or Hyperdia to help you plan your routes. Also, keep an eye out for the small, local eateries and cafes that offer a genuine taste of Tokyo’s culinary culture.

    As we wrap up today’s adventures, don’t forget to mark your calendars for tomorrow. The Waterras Winter Illumination 2025 continues through February 28, offering a less crowded and beautiful evening walk in central Tokyo. And if you're planning ahead, the Dolphin Dance at Maxell Aqua Park is a heartwarming event that combines dolphin performances with a starry night sky, running until February 24[5].

    Tune in tomorrow for more exciting events and activities in this dynamic city. Until then, enjoy your day in Tokyo
