One of Tokyo's three greatest traditional festivals returns in May. The Kanda Matsuri is customarily held on odd-numbered years and consists of a week-long succession of ceremonial rituals and parades, centred around Kanda Shrine.
The highlights are on May 10, with Shinkosai, a colourful procession of ceremonial shrines; and May 11 (from 9am) for the Mikoshi-Miyairi, when more than 200 mikoshi (portable shrines) are paraded through the nearby neighbourhoods. The Shinkosai procession begins near the B1 exit of Higashi-Nihonbashi Station, and the Mikoshi-Miyari begins at Kanda Shrine. You can see a map of the routes on the festival website.
