The Tori no Ichi festival at Hanazono Shrine is one of the biggest in the Kanto region. It’s held on two days on November 11 and 23 with some smaller warm-up festivals taking place the night before the main events. For the occasion, the grounds are decorated with 950 LED lanterns attached to large panels towering over the shrine buildings. On the grounds, you will find stalls selling decorative kumade bamboo rakes, plus plenty of other vendors offering food and other festival knick knacks.
The event takes place from 10am to 11pm on all three days, the smaller festivals one day before the main events take place from the evening until 11pm.
