This famous market is known for vendors selling the local specialty bettara-zuke (sweet and salty daikon radish pickles).
Held around Takarada Ebisu Shrine, this fair is a popular seasonal event in the community of the former Ōdenma-chō area (3 Honchō and Ōdenma-chō, Nihonbashi) and Horidome-chō.
What happens?
During the fair, the Ōdenma-chō area is filled with between 400 and 500 street stalls that stay busy until late in the evening, drawing tourists as well as nearby office workers. There will also be mikoshi (portable shrine) parades and dancing. In 2026, the stalls are open from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. on both days. On October 19, children carry their mikoshi from 3 p.m. and adults from 4 p.m., and on October 20 there’s bon odori dancing from 4:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. The fair goes ahead in the rain (except in stormy weather).
History
The origin of the fair dates back to the middle of the Edo period, when merchants started to sell fish, vegetables, Shintō family altars, and other supplies on October 19 in front of the shrine gate for the celebration of the Ebisu-ko ceremony. The ceremony, in honor of the god Ebisu has merchants invite relatives and friends to their homes on October 20.
