Kappabashi Dougu Matsuri (Kitchenware Festival)
かっぱ橋道具まつり
Tokyo · Kanto
An annual street festival along Tokyo's famous restaurant-supply district, held for about a week in early-to-mid October, when kitchenware shops discount stock and a stamp rally and food stalls turn the normally trade-focused Kitchen Town into a lively public event. The exact 2026 dates had not been officially announced at the time of writing — the 40th edition ran 7-13 October 2025, and the festival reliably falls in the same October week, so treat the stored window as the typical period and confirm on the shopping-street association site before relying on it.
