What is Sanja Matsuri?
Sanja Matsuri is an annual festival held in Asakusa, Tokyo, during the third weekend of May. It honors the founders of Senso-ji Temple: Hinokuma Hamanari, Hinokuma Takenari, and Hajino Nakatomo. The festival centers around Asakusa Shrine, built to commemorate these figures.
The event is known for its lively atmosphere, attracting many visitors to see the processions and performances. A key feature is the parade of mikoshi, or portable shrines, through Asakusa’s streets. Participants carry these shrines while chanting and moving to the beat of taiko drums.
Sanja Matsuri celebrates religious devotion and showcases local culture. It includes traditional music and dance, food stalls with local dishes, and handcrafted souvenirs. The festival offers insight into Tokyo’s cultural heritage, appealing to both locals and tourists.
