Let's walk the streets in kimono
The third Hinomaru Festival will be held on Sunday 20 November 2022.
This festival is an event that brings feelings closer to Japanese culture, tradition and the "Hinomaru (Japanese flag)".
The main event is the Hinomaru Parade, in which various performers parade through the streets with the Hinomaru flag in hand.
Wearing kimono, the parade is a fun and lively walk through the centre of Tokyo while experiencing a variety of Japanese cultural and performing arts.

About the Hinomaru Festival
The festival was first held on 17 November 2019 to celebrate the accession to the throne of His Majesty the Emperor and to cheerfully welcome the era of Reiwa. The festival has been well received every year and will be held for the third time this year.
We are moving forward strongly into the future, holding up the symbol of Japan, the Hinomaru flag.
It's with this in mind that this year's Hinomaru Festival will be held.
