Ogikubo Hachiman Grand Festival

10:00am – 9:00pm
Free

For lovers of Japanese culture and traditional festivals, the Ogikubo Hachiman Grand Festival is a dream come true. You’ll get a chance to explore everything from tree exhibitions to takoyaki outside the Ogikubo Hachiman Shrine.

What happens?

All of the trimmings of a traditional Japanese festival will be scattered around the shrine. You can take a break for festival food, drinks, and regular live events. However, there will also be some unique events, such as a bonsai tree display and a local kendo exhibition. If that’s not enough, listen to live music (with both drum and dance performances) and feast your eyes on a mikoshi (portable shrine) parade to amp up the traditional spirit.

Schedule

The festival typically takes place over a weekend in September, on the Sunday closest to the 15th.
