- Sanno-matsuri Festival!
The sight of the 300-meter-long procession, featuring people in traditional Japanese attire, portable shrines, and vintage vehicles, is truly spectacular.
A festival that was specially attended by shoguns during the Edo period. Held once every two years, this festival is counted among the Three Great Festivals of Edo.
