In 2025, Tokyo will host the World Athletics Championships and the Deaflympics. Tokyo Metropolitan Government and the Tokyo Metropolitan Foundation for History and Culture will implement three commemorative art projects as the “TOKYOFORWARD 2025 Cultural Program.”
To open the program, there will be a performance event called “Japanese Festival “omatsuri” (Tokyo Wasshoi)” on Gyoko-dori Street in front of Tokyo Station from September 12 through 14, 2025 to coincide with the Tokyo 2025 World Athletics Championships. The event will feature festival organizations and traditional performing arts groups from around the Tokyo region.
