Japan Caribbean Carnival (JCC) is set for September 23, 2025 as part of Japan Soca Weekend — bringing full-scale Caribbean carnival vibes to the Tokyo-Kanto region with a distinctly Japanese twist. This year’s theme, “妖狐 – Spirit of Kitsune,” draws on Japan’s folklore, where the fox is both divine messenger and shape-shifter, blending supernatural and cultural depth. Expect big music, exotic costumes (official JCC kits required for masqueraders), sizzling Caribbean food, steelpan, parades, and electric performances as people from Japan and the Caribbean unite in one epic celebration.
