Tokyo plans an Edo-themed autumn campaign for 2026

The Tokyo Metropolitan Government has announced an 'Edo Tokyo Campaign 2026 Autumn', the seasonal instalment of a programme it says it has run since the current fiscal year to spotlight the culture of Edo, the city that preceded modern Tokyo.

The Tokyo Metropolitan Government says it will hold an 'Edo Tokyo Campaign 2026 Autumn', part of a programme it has been running seasonally since the current fiscal year to draw attention to the culture of Edo, the city that laid the foundations of present-day Tokyo, and to rediscover and communicate its value and depth.

The autumn edition is being run in coordination with Tokyo Cultural Property Week 2026, which the release describes as involving cultural-property tours and special exhibitions. The release also says the wider effort is being pursued with eventual World Heritage registration in view.
