Autumn Ginza 2025, an annual autumn event that brings a diverse harmony to the Ginza district, from tea ceremony to art, music, gourmet food, and nightlife, will be held again this year. It will be held for 18 days from Friday, October 17, 2025 to Monday, November 3, 2025 (national holiday).

The concept for this year's 23rd event is "Sou" (music). It will lift the spirits of people walking through the city, bringing Ginza together in harmony.

The popular "Ginchakai" event will be held on Sunday, October 26th, where the streets of Ginza will be transformed into an outdoor tea ceremony. Tea ceremonies based on the six schools of tea ceremony and Sencha tea ceremony, as well as a "First Time Tea Ceremony Experience" will be held at 12 locations around Ginza Street. Applications will be accepted by lottery in advance, and applications will be accepted until Wednesday, October 8th. The results will be announced on Wednesday, October 15th.

Also, don't miss the original Japanese sweets that famous Ginza shops have put their heart and soul into, which will only be available on this day. Matsuya Ginza and Ginza Mitsukoshi will be selling a set of some of their original sweets (6 pieces for 2,700 yen).

From October 23rd (Thursday) to the 27th (Monday), a full-scale version of the winning tea room designed by an architecture student will be installed on the Ginza Terrace on the 9th floor of Ginza Mitsukoshi. It will be used as an actual tea ceremony room.

The Autumn Ginza Traffic Safety Golden Parade, which has a history of nearly 60 years and brightens up the streets of Ginza, will be held on Sunday, October 19th. You can enjoy the Metropolitan Police Department's Traffic Safety Parade and a powerful performance by the Tokyo Wind Orchestra Association. This year, as the Tokyo International Film Festival is being held at the same time, film music will also be added to the repertoire.

Other events include the "Ginza Hachocho Shrine Tour," where you can visit the small shrines and Jizo statues that live in Ginza; "Diners Club Ginza Restaurant Week 2025 Autumn," where you can enjoy special courses from 41 of Ginza's most famous Japanese, Western, and Chinese restaurants; "Autumn Ginza Night," a special event where 17 Ginza bars will be offering gin and tonics for 1,650 yen per glass (one glass per store) for a limited time; and "Afternoon Galleries," where a guide will take you on a tour of Ginza art galleries.

With the cool, refreshing air coming up in the coming season, why not enjoy a stroll through Ginza in autumn?
