How to Celebrate Tori no Ichi | Tokyo Weekender Travel Guide

2023 DATES BELOW!

Welcome to the second episode of Tokyo Weekender’s Tokyo Travel Guide series, where we take you to some of our favorite places and events around Tokyo. Today we're taking you to the Tori no Ichi festival at Hanozono Shrine in Shinjuku.

Tori no Ichi is an annual event held primarily in shrines around Tokyo as an end-of-year celebration. Here, people and businesses purchase elaborately decorated kumade, symbolic talismans of good luck used to pray for prosperity, happiness and health for the year ahead.

The event will take place on Saturday November 11th and Thursday November 23rd. We recommend enjoying it at one of the major shrines such as Asakusa's Otori Shrine or Shinjuku's Hanozono Shrine.

We hope you like this new series. Drop us a comment below and let us know where we should go next!
