Tokyo Tokyo Delicious Museum is a food festival where many of Tokyo’s most popular restaurants and food vendors come together.
It’s happening over three days—from Friday, May 16 to Sunday, May 18—at Symbol Promenade Park in Ariake, just in front of Tokyo Big Sight.
You and your family can enjoy delicious dishes from your favorite spots, as well as popular gourmet picks that often appear in the media—all in a comfortable, family-friendly setting.
And it’s not just about eating! The event also features family-friendly live music and fun workshops where kids can learn about food culture. There’s a lot for both kids and adults to enjoy together.
In this article, we’d love to share three great reasons why this event is perfect for families.
１.Easy-to-Enjoy Food for All Ages
With over 40 different vendors, the festival has everything from Edomae-style Japanese dishes like grilled eel, to Italian, German, and even sweets from popular dessert shops at Tokyo Tokyo Delicious Museum.
There are plenty of options that are easy to share with family and picking out what to eat together can be half the fun.
Some vendors even offer kids’ menus with smaller portions or share-friendly dishes that are great for families. (Available at select vendors.)

2.A Relaxed Seating Area Just for Families
If you’re coming with kids up to elementary school age, you can use our family-only seating area (23 tables, 92 seats total).
These covered, spacious tables are perfect for strollers and let you enjoy your meal comfortably, no matter what the weather.
Some vendors also plan to offer direct sales to these seats, so you can order and enjoy your food right where you are.

3.Fun Workshops for Curious Kids
At the Flower Plaza, kids can join fun and hands-on programs that let them explore food culture through play.
One of the highlights is Conveyor belt HAZAI SUSHI. Kids get to create sushi using off-cut materials from factories (for the toppings) and sponges (for the rice). Once finished, they place their creations on a real conveyor belt—just like at a sushi restaurant!
It’s not just fun—it also encourages hands-on creativity and introduces kids to ideas about sustainability and how society makes use of resources. This program offers a great learning opportunity through making things, and is highly recommended for children. No reservation is required—feel free to drop in and join!
There are other exciting activities too, like fake food sample making and a Super Tomato Scoop game.
You can find all the hands-on experiences in the “Try It” section on our website.
