What's On in Tokyo This Week? November 13–19, 2026

Mariko Mori: All That Shines has 40 works from more than three decades: photography, video, drawing, sculpture and large interactive installations. It's her first major solo show in Japan since Pure Land in 2002. Entry is by time slot. You can buy at the door if slots remain, or online for a little less. It's on 53F of Roppongi Hills Mori Tower, so it pairs well with the Christmas lights below.

Marimekko: Art of Printmaking shows more than 60 dresses, from rare early designs to recent collections, with printed textiles and new installations, inside the former residence of Prince Asaka. Friday, November 13 is a late night: it stays open until 20:00, and after 17:00 students get in free with ID and adults pay the ¥1,120 group rate. On Wednesday, November 18, visitors 65 and over get in free. Entry is timed, with advance tickets online.

Bugaku Costumes: The Enduring Beauty of Textiles is a special exhibition of the dyed and woven costumes worn for bugaku, the dance performed with Japan's court music. Book a date and time online to save ¥200; tickets on the day cost more. Leave time for the garden.

Nam June Paik | Jugemu marks 20 years since the death of the video art pioneer. It's the last week and a half to see it in the museum's Mario Botta building. Two people can share a pair ticket for ¥2,600.

Keyakizaka's SNOW & BLUE lights run for about 400 meters down the hill, 17:00–22:00. From November 13, three more are on: champagne-gold lights at 66 Plaza until midnight, lights in the Mori Garden until 23:00, and a Christmas tree in West Walk from 11:00 until midnight. They're outdoors along the street, in the plaza and in the garden, and the page lists no tickets. The Christmas market at Oyane Plaza doesn't open until November 21.

Marcellus Pittman, the Detroit house DJ, headlines on Saturday, November 14 with SAMO and The Library. SUZU, Hiroto Yano and STACK are among the DJs in Room 2. Expect house and disco. Get there before midnight: entry is ¥2,000 until then and ¥4,000 after. VENT is 20 and over, with photo ID.

KULU brings Mita Gami from Tel Aviv and Robbie Akbal from Mexico, with DSKE, KO UMEHARA, a live set from boys be kko, and SATICA. It's a house and techno night. Advance tickets save you ¥1,000.

MAGNETiC has guest DJ Arni Kristjansson from Reykjavik, with DJ KAWASAKI, SHACHO of SOIL&"PIMP"SESSIONS and SHIMA SHUN. It starts early for a club night, at 21:00.

Japanese rock band OKAMOTO'S bring their LOSTRANGER tour to Liquid Room on Thursday, November 19. Tickets are sold through Ticket Pia, Lawson Ticket, e+ and the venue. Anyone 3 or older needs a ticket.

Clara de Asís from Spain and Austria and Vittoria Assembri from Italy play this Hatagaya basement on their Japan tour on Tuesday, November 17, with Takahiro Kawaguchi and Naoki Nomoto.

The Tokyo government's 18th food education fair fills the park's zelkova avenue with 44 tents, 10:00–16:00 both days. Try chopstick-making, buy farm produce and rice-flour bread, and eat from food trucks using Tokyo ingredients. It's free, with no booking, and goes ahead in light rain. The same weekend, Fiesta de España 2026 runs at the park's Event Plaza: 10:00–20:00 on Saturday and 10:00–19:00 on Sunday.

About 260 stalls fill the shrine for Tori-no-ichi, the November market known for decorated kumade rakes sold for good luck. Wednesday, November 18 is the eve and Thursday, November 19 is the main day. Go on Thursday for a flower kumade: they're sold only on the main day, in limited numbers. Lanterns go out around midnight. After 18:00, the shrine may limit entry when it's crowded. In Asakusa, Ootori Shrine holds its second day around the clock on November 19, from midnight to midnight.
