As a town that grew up around a temple, Asakusa observes many traditional festivals, but the Samba Carnival (which started in 1981) is a new event. It started when the Mayor of Taito City (one of the central 23 cities of Tokyo) invited the winning group from that year's Rio Carnival in Brazil to put on a display. The Major, together with Junzaburo Ban (the actor-comedian) are considered responsible for forming this fantastic international festival.

The main attraction of the festival is the samba parade contest.



The winning team of the Carnival in Rio de Janeiro is invited to perform (along with other samba dance teams) and visitors to the festival can enjoy a wonderful and exciting evening.
