Tokyo Rainbow Pride celebrates Tokyo’s LGBTQ+ community. No matter your gender or sexual orientation, anyone can enjoy the parades and events held into Golden Week. These include performances and booths in Yoyogi Park for LGBTQ+-friendly businesses as well as the annual parade on Sunday, April 23.
What happens
The parade follows an approximately 3 km route around the Harajuku/Shibuya area. And like any good Pride parade, participants march and ride on floats while dressed in outfits as diverse as the community itself. If you’ve never celebrated Pride in Japan, here’s your annual opportunity.
Note: While the festival only lasts for two days (April 22 to 23), events will continue around Tokyo until May 7.
