Introducing our sister site Asobi USA — weekend activities and events for Japanese people in the U.S.
October 18, 2026 Onegai USA editorial team
Our sister site Asobi USA is a site of activities and events for Japanese people living in the United States. “Where should we go this weekend?” “Where can we spend the day with the kids?” “Where are the Japanese festivals and Japanese food events?” — it collects, city by city, the information you need when planning your next day off.
What you can find on Asobi USA
- New York: weekend events in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens and nearby New Jersey, Japan-related events, family outings and day trips
- Los Angeles: LA and Orange County — beaches, theme parks, and Japan-related events in Little Tokyo and Torrance
- Bay Area: San Francisco, San Jose and the East Bay — Japantown events and weekends in nature
- Hawaii: mainly Oahu — local festivals, markets, beaches and hiking
- U.S. guide: national parks, road trips, how to spend holidays and long weekends, a calendar of Japanese festivals across the U.S., and more
Dates, places and prices of the events listed are checked against the official information from organizers and venues, so you can use it to plan your outings (plans can change, so please also check the latest official information before you go).
Use it together with Onegai USA
Once your weekend event or trip is planned, Onegai USA can help with things while you are out.
- A Japanese-speaking babysitter for a grown-ups-only day out
- Cat care or dog walking while you travel or visit Japan
- House-sitting checks while you are away for a long time
Both sites grew out of the “wouldn’t it be nice if…” wishes of Japanese people living in the U.S. We hope you find them useful.
