Today we'll be introducing you to what Tokyo is like during”Obon”.
In Japan, there is a period of national holiday called “OBON”.
While it varies from year to year, it usually falls around August 9th-15th each year.
In reality, Tokyo is deserted during this period!
That's because city dwellers all head off to regional resorts.
As a result, the city is empty and comfortable.
Small shops will be closed, but major tourist spots will remain open, so there's no shortage of overlapping sightseeing opportunities.
There are often great deals to be found during Obon in Tokyo, so be sure to visit Tokyo during this time!
