 Welcome to 'Things to do in Tokyo' on this sunny Sunday, May 25, 2025 As we step into the final days of May, Tokyo is buzzing with the vibrant energy of spring. The weather is mild and pleasant, making it the perfect time to explore the city's outdoor festivals and events.

Today, Tokyo is alive with a variety of exciting activities. If you're interested in cultural events, the Hanazono Shrine Grand Festival is a must-attend. This traditional festival, which has been running for over five centuries, features a grand shrine procession where dozens of volunteers carry a massive 1.5-tonne portable shrine through the streets of Shinjuku. The festivities include rites, food stalls, and a lively atmosphere that you won't want to miss[2].

For those who love nature and flowers, the Katsushika Iris Festival, although starting on May 27, is worth a mention as it's just around the corner. However, if you're looking for something to do today, consider visiting the Meiji Shrine for their Spring Festival, which celebrates the beauty of the season with traditional performances and stalls[1].

Sports enthusiasts should head to the Ryogoku Kokugikan for the final day of the Tokyo Grand Sumo Tournament. This is your last chance to witness the powerful matches between sumo wrestlers in one of Japan's most iconic sporting events[5].

In terms of local news, Tokyo is always evolving. Keep an eye out for new restaurant openings in the trendy districts of Shibuya and Harajuku. For public transit, there are no major updates today, but it's always a good idea to check the latest schedules to plan your day efficiently.

If you're looking for must-do activities, consider visiting the famous Tsukiji Outer Market for a fresh sushi breakfast or exploring the Neon Districts of Shinjuku and Shibuya for a dose of Tokyo's nightlife. For a hidden gem, take a stroll through the Imperial Palace East Garden, a serene oasis in the heart of the city.

Here's a local tip: When navigating Tokyo's complex subway system, use the Suica or Pasmo cards for convenient travel. These prepaid cards can be used on most public transportation systems, making your journey much smoother.

As we wrap up today's adventures, don't forget to tune in tomorrow for more exciting events. The Laos Festival in Tokyo, happening on May 24-25, might be wrapping up, but there are always new experiences waiting around the corner in this dynamic city. Until next time, stay curious and keep exploring the wonders of Tokyo
