🎪 Matsuri Festivals

Sanja Matsuri

Third weekend of May

One of Tokyo's three great Shinto festivals at Asakusa's Senso-ji area. Wild street processions of 100+ portable shrines (mikoshi) carried through Asakusa over 3 days. Far more raw and energetic than the polished Kyoto festivals.

Access: Asakusa Station (Tokyo Metro Ginza / Toei Asakusa / Tobu Skytree Line)
