Every autumn, Konno Hachimangū Shrine holds one of the biggest festivals in Shibuya.
What happens?
There are several different events taking place over the weekend, including a Shinto-style dance demonstration (kagura) and the biggest of all: a large mikoshi (portable shrine) parade in Aoyama and Shibuya. The highlight is when 14 shrines converge together in front of Shibuya 109 on Sunday.
Street vendors will also be at the shrine over the weekend, meaning you can grab food and get into the festival spirit.
