  1. Tokyo
  2. Sanja Matsuri Festival

Neighborhood Shrines

Saturday us the only time that all the mikoshis gather during the three day festival. It is for the "Chonai Mikoshi-rengo Togyo". 100 or so mikoshi gather from 44 districts. After being purified at Asakusa Shrine they leave one by one for the Bancho-kai. The area becomes packed with each of the districts' proud mikoshi, the people in an assortment of matsuri costumes as well as all the viewers. It is such a rare chance to see this many mikoshis in one place, and experience the excitement of the rowdy festival in Tokyo!
