Asakusa Samba Carnival
































Rio de Janeiro ? No ! ...Tokyo !

Asakusa Samba Carnival is held on the last Saturday of August since 1981.

Most tourists do not expect to see  Samba teams competing in the streets of Tokyo ! It is probably because they do not know that Brazil has the largest Japanese community outside of Japan, and therefore both countries have strong cultural ties.

An amazing spectacle !
