The largest samba carnival in Japan is a perfect finale to summer in Asakusa. The event attracts authentic samba dance teams from across Japan. The highlight of the carnival is the colorful, gorgeous costumes—along with the beautiful dancers who wear them.

While some of Tokyo's largest festivals were cancelled last year out of respect for victims of the March 11 disaster, the Asakusa Samba Carnival fell afoul of a timetable clash with the rescheduled Sumida River Fireworks. There'll be no such problems this year: weather permitting, on the afternoon of August 31st, the parade between Sensoji Temple and Tawaramachi Station will be flooded with teams of elaborately attired dancers, shaking their tail feathers to the Brazilian beat.

Drawing about half a million visitors each year, the Asakusa Samba Carnival is easily one of Tokyo's most awaited and celebrated events. It sees the collaboration of carnival performers from both Brazil and Tokyo in an amazing cross-cultural explosion of costume, dance, and noise.

Tokyo, Japan – Teams of elaborately attired dancers shake their tail feathers to the beat of Samba, parading down the streets of Tokyo’s downtown Asakusa during an annual carnival on Saturday, August 31, 2013.
About 4,700 dancers in 19 teams performed under the scorching sun in the main street of Asakusa, Japan’s most famous tourists’ spot, before tens of thousands of spectators in the Asakusa Samba Carnival, the biggest of its kind in the country.
