YO!YO! Festival

Dancing, singing, getting drunk and enjoying the summer festival freely

Daikanyama's club scene was born from the gathering of various cultures such as music, dance, and art,
While preserving tradition, we adapt to each region.
DAIKANYAMA T-SITE has arranged a Bon Odori dance that combines various forms.
The venue will feature DJs, dancing, live painting, as well as food trucks and a variety of shops.
The name "YO!YO! Festival" comes from the "yo" which means various ways of having fun such as dancing, singing and getting drunk.
Enjoy your encounter with a new summer festival, as if exchanging a quick greeting of "YO!"

Cooling Festival 2024

To conclude the summer holidays, we will be holding the late summer festival "Daikanyama Souryou Festival 2024."
Even if you go on a trip with your family, hang out with friends, and make the most of your limited time,
The time we can be children is as short as fireworks,
As the end of summer approaches, I feel a little sad.
That is why, as the end of this year draws near,
We will create a summer of endless excitement.
Adults and children can enjoy it together,
Why not spend two memorable days in Daikanyama?
