 Good morning, listeners! If you're in Tokyo right now, you've picked the perfect weekend to explore everything the city has to offer. Let me walk you through some fantastic events happening today and throughout the weekend.

Starting with today, Saturday April 25th, Spring Feast Park 2026 has just kicked off at Ariake Colosseum and it's running through tomorrow as well. This is a gourmet celebration brought to you by the Furusato Oen Matsuri, an annual festival that draws half a million visitors. You'll find carefully selected food trucks and restaurants from all across Japan, showcasing spring-inspired dishes and refreshing beverages. The best part? Admission to the food and beverage area is completely free, though you'll pay for what you eat. And here's something special, this event coincides with the Ando Securities Open Tokyo 2026, an ITF Women's World Tennis Tour event happening at the same venue, so you can enjoy gourmet food alongside exciting tennis matches. Ariake Colosseum is your destination for this culinary adventure.

Also happening today is the Nakizumo Crying Baby Festival, a unique and popular event where babies participate in a traditional competition. It's free to attend and offers a truly authentic Tokyo experience that you won't find anywhere else.

If you're looking for something different, the Ryogoku Nigiwai Festival is also running today through tomorrow, celebrating the historic sumo wrestling district with local culture and entertainment.

For those seeking cultural experiences, the Sanrio Exhibition titled The Beginning of Kawaii opened recently at the Mori Arts Center Gallery in Roppongi and runs through June 21st. This expansive exhibition marks over 60 years of the beloved character company and explores how kawaii became a global cultural phenomenon.

If you're visiting the iconic Tokyo Tower, you can see the annual spring display of 333 colorful koinobori carp streamers set up at the main entrance through May 6th. They're celebrating Children's Day with this beautiful display, and here's a fun challenge, see if you can spot the one six-meter-long sanma, or Pacific saury, among all the carp streamers.

Over at Tokyo Skytree Town, one of the city's largest koinobori festivals features 1,000 carp streamers fluttering in the breeze. Kids can participate in workshops to color their own streamers for just 500 yen, with guidance from expert artisans.
