Asakusa holds the Asakusa Summer Night Festival—Toro Nagashi (Paper Lantern Floating). Make your wish and float it along the Sumidagawa river with the Sky Tree in the background. It's a sight to behold. Also, the Asakusa Samba Carnival Parade and Contest is one of the biggest festivals Tokyo has to offer and one of the most colourful and lively. A must see if you are here at the right time. Asakusa itself has plenty of summer delicacies too, so check out the local menus to see what's on offer.
