Fodor's Expert Review Asagaya Jazz Street Festival

Held the last weekend of October, this predominantly mainstream festival takes places in some less-than-mainstream venues, ranging from a Shinto shrine to a Lutheran church (most within walking distance of Asagaya Station). More than 200 bands and 1,300 musicians play, and previous headliners include the Mike Price Jazz Quintet and pianist Yosuke Yamashita. The festival gets crowded, so come early to ensure entry.
