The Kawasaki Daishi Wind Chime Festival is a seasonal summer event held in the vicinity of the historic Kawasaki Daishi (Heiuma-ji) Temple. The beautiful melodies and colorful decorations of the wind chimes offer visitors a refreshing and cooling experience. Centered around the traditional Japanese 'Furin' (wind chime), this event allows you to feel the essence of summer through both sight and sound.
The main attraction is the vast array of colorful wind chimes decorating the area. The clear, soothing sounds that ring out with every breeze help you forget the daily hustle and bring peace to your heart. The sight of countless colorful wind chimes is highly photogenic, capturing a quintessential Japanese summer scene. We invite you to experience the unique atmosphere where the solemnity of the temple meets the light, melodic sounds of the wind chimes.
The event is held from July 17, 2026, to July 21, 2026. Since this is a summer event, it is a perfect time to experience the traditional atmosphere of the season. Please check the official website for the latest information regarding specific daily programs and detailed timings.
The venue is the area surrounding Kawasaki Daishi (Heiuma-ji). Kawasaki Daishi is easily accessible from central Tokyo and is a popular destination for visitors. There are also local shopping streets nearby, making it easy to enjoy a stroll and local snacks after visiting the temple.
