Asagaya Jazz Streets reaches its scheduled closing day on 31 October, with different admission rules across its Tokyo venues. The organizer lists the festival for 30–31 October 2026. [1]

That distinction matters for an event spread through a neighbourhood. Time Out Tokyo describes a festival using settings as varied as school gyms, churches, office lobbies, guitar shops and shrines, rather than a single concert site. Its current listing runs through 31 October. [2]

The organizer’s street venues offer free performances in station plazas and on street corners; donations are welcome. Its public venues require a ticket for each stage or performance. The third category, variety venues, covers businesses such as live houses, cafés and restaurants that organize their own programmes and set their own charges. [1]

Choose the performance and check its venue’s admission instructions before travelling; remaining tickets and availability are unconfirmed. [1]
