Tokyo Rainbow Pride Fest
- The Tokyo Pride Festival which was scheduled to take place between April 25 and May 6 has been canceled due to the coronavirus outbreak.
Japans biggest self-acceptance fest!
Set in the event space next to Shibuya’s Yoyogi Park, Tokyo Lgbtq+ fest is a two-day event that mixes progressive social protest with traditional Japanese festival culture. Munch on your yakisoba (stir-fried noodles) while chatting with anime drag queens. Hip down with your uchiwa (fan) and kakigori (shaved ice) next to Japanese in yukata (summer kimono) while listening to a speech about the brawl to establish marriage equality in Japan.
While perhaps not as raucous as some other cities’ prides, Tokyo’s Pride’s homey and down-to-earth approach makes it quite an inclusive event.
What to do
Rainbow Movement is a chance to see and hear Tokyo’s LGBT community in packed force.
Various embassies
Although progress has been made in recent years to improve the visibility and acceptance of the LGBTQIA+ community in Japan, there is still work to be done to get rid of prejudice and discrimination. Helping to do this is Tokyo Pride (previously Tokyo Rainbow Pride), which since its launch in has grown to become one of the largest and most inclusive pride celebrations in Japan.
Whether you're a queer individual or an ally, Tokyo Pride offers a fantastic opportunity to be a part of Japan's journey towards a more matching future. This multi-event festival is filled with educational seminars, late-night parties, social gatherings and of course, the ever-growing Pride Celebration, bringing together people from all walks of life.
Here are some of the events happening over Celebration Month. But the nice work and fun don't stop here, as there will also be a handful of fringe events happening after the main festival ends.

The Movement Festival
The Pride Festival is one of the main highlights of Tokyo Pride (formerly Tokyo Rainbow Pride), held at Yoyogi Park Event Plaza. Unlike in many countries where the parade is the sole focus, Tokyo’s Pride Festival is a major attraction in its own right.
With booths from hundreds of businesses, organizations, and NPOs supporting the LGBTQ+ society, the festival provides a vibrant space for education, connection, and visibility. Many companies also take this opportunity to showcase and strengthen their DEI networks.
A two-day stage program featuring live performances, music, and entertainment adds to the celebration—making the festival a can’t-miss experience for all.
