Asakusa Samba Carnival After Coronavirus pandemic, the Asakusa Samba Carnival has been fully Held in in 5 years yellowtail! 👏👏 In the past, it was held on the last Saturday of August, and it was also a day of fighting against the piercing sun, but this time it was the middle of September, and although there was still some residual heat, a pleasant breeze blew and I was able to watch it comfortably. How much preparation and effort did we put into preparing for this one-hour-plus parade over the past year? The late-summer tradition in Tokyo is like a grand and ephemeral dream. I feel a hint of autumn in a little loneliness.
