Tsukiji Tori no Ichi

This festival takes place during the anniversary of the completion of the original Edo period earthen walls that make up this shrine, which are now 250 years old. Much like many other Tori no Ichi celebrations, this one includes the sale of kumade and kakkome charms (¥1,000). In addition, the festival also will be raffling off special gold-leaf taikin amulets that have an auspicious sea-bream (tai) theme, so don’t miss your chance at one of these. Also remember that this is the last Tori no Ichi for the year - ensure your luck for 2014 now.
