Asakusa · ENJOY

One of Edo’s Three Great Festivals, a high-energy mikoshi celebration in Asakusa every third weekend of May.

Organized by Asakusa Shrine to honor Senso-ji’s three founders, the festival unfolds over three days: Friday’s Daigyoretsu parade features priests, geisha, and musicians; Saturday sees neighborhood mikoshi roaming shopping streets; Sunday climaxes with the three main shrine mikoshi. Expect massive crowds—arrive early, follow staff directions, and be mindful of etiquette when photographing.
