Tokyo Buzzing with Tech, Anime, and History Festivals
Tokyo is buzzing this week, so if listeners are in town and wondering what to do, let’s dive straight into some of the best events happening across the city from today through the weekend.
Tech lovers should make their way to Tokyo Big Sight in Ariake for Tokyo DIGICONX, also known as TOKYO XR, Metaverse and Content Business World. According to Micetimes Japan, this runs from January 8 to 10 and brings together creators and companies working in XR, the metaverse, AI, Web3, and digital content. Listeners can expect demo booths, business talks, and plenty of hands-on experiences, so it’s a great place to glimpse the future of entertainment and tech all under one massive convention center roof.
If listeners are anime fans, Tokyo Skytree has something special. Tobu Tower Skytree reports that from January 8 all the way to April 6, the tower is hosting “Puella Magi Madoka Magica in Tokyo Skytree,” its first ever collaboration with the hit series. Up on the Tembo Galleria at 450 meters, there are exclusive exhibits, limited-edition goods, and themed café items, plus a photo service where visitors can pose with Madoka Magica characters. On the Tembo Deck at 350 meters, the Skytree Round Theater screens special videos at night, and the exterior of the tower glows in Madoka-inspired colors. There are even meet-and-greet sessions with Skytree’s mascot Sorakara-chan dressed as Madoka.
Looking toward the weekend and beyond, listeners who love Japanese history should mark their calendars for the Sengoku Warlord EXPO 2026 in Ueno Park. MATCHA, the Japan travel magazine, explains that from January 16 to 18, Ueno’s Fountain Plaza transforms into a samurai festival with live sword-fighting shows, warlord troupe performances, and talks featuring descendants of historical commanders. There are also armor try-on experiences, basic sword-drawing workshops, and tons of regional food and sake, all with free admission, just a short walk from JR Ueno Station.
Between big events, listeners can fill their days exploring Tokyo’s neighborhoods, then cap their nights with Skytree’s special Madoka lighting, or geek out at DIGICONX before it wraps up this weekend.
