In Tokyo
Some moments deserve to be unforgettable.
Tokyo's difficulty is not events, it is counters: the restaurants that seat eight and book months ahead. Sumo and kabuki are the fixtures, and both have seats that are never sold openly.

A table laid for the evening, and nobody else invited
The fixtures
Late March to early April
The cherry blossom
A window of roughly ten days that moves every year. The hardest fortnight to book in Japan, and it is announced only weeks ahead.
Late April to early May
Golden Week
Four public holidays in a row; the whole country travels and nothing is available.
November
The autumn leaves
The second season, longer and more predictable than the blossom.
Year-round
The counters
The restaurants that matter seat under a dozen and book months ahead — the single hardest reservation category in the world.
