Tokyo is buzzing this week, so if you’re in town and wondering what to do, you’ve got plenty of options from big cultural moments to quirky neighborhood finds. Let’s start with something uniquely Tokyo: the May Grand Sumo Tournament at Ryogoku Kokugikan. Japan Guide and Tokyo Cheapo both list it running through May 24, which means you can still catch top division bouts this week. Head to Ryogoku in the afternoon for the most intense matches, grab a chanko nabe hotpot nearby, and soak up the old-school sports atmosphere that you won’t find anywhere else. If you’re into traditional festivals, keep an eye on Asakusa. According to the official Tokyo travel guide Go Tokyo, the Asakusa Geisha’s Ozashiki Odori spring and summer performances are running from April 11 to July 11.

Art and architecture lovers should head to Roppongi and central Tokyo. Time Out Tokyo highlights the Tokyo Architecture Festival among May’s standout events, and this week you’ll find talks, tours, and exhibitions celebrating everything from sleek skyscrapers to hidden modernist gems. Pair that with a visit to special exhibitions listed on Japan Travel, like Gaudi: Windows on the Future 2026, running in Tokyo from May 16 to July 12, where you can dive into models and drawings from the Spanish master who inspired architects worldwide. Families and animation fans, don’t miss the big Doraemon event.

While the core days have just passed, the neighborhood is still in a festive afterglow, with decorations and plenty of food stalls lingering through the week, so it’s still worth a visit to feel that lingering festival energy. Flower lovers should head out toward Tachikawa. Matcha reports that the Showa Kinen Park Flower Festival 2026 runs from March 20th to May 24th. This week is your final chance to wander vast lawns, poppy fields, and late-spring blooms before the event wraps up on Sunday.
