Tokyo events for Monday, February 12 to Sunday, February 18, 2024.

The most romantic week of the year means it’s the best time to head out and see the blossoming early spring flowers — orchids, plum blossoms, and early blooming cherry blossoms take center stage.

You may be looking for date ideas, or sweet treats to share with a loved one, but for those looking to avoid the cheese, you can also visit markets or tourism fairs.

Super Bowl 2024: Where to Watch

You’re here because you want to see if the Chiefs can defend their title, or if the 49ers can take it back to San Fran. Or maybe you’re just sticking around for the commercials and half-time show (Usher!). Either way, you might want to know where and how you can watch the game this Monday, February 12 at 08:30 a.m. (JST).

Tokunoshima Tourism & Products Fair

Japan International Orchid and Flower Show

Orchids are an important symbol to many Japanese gardeners and flower fans. This February, you can see their beauty in person at the Japan International Orchid and Flower Show. Visitors can experience an array of beautifully arranged floral artwork from the moment they walk in — go through the Orchid Gate, a display made from 100,000 orchids, and an ideal selfie spot.
