🌿🍃 Shinjuku Hanazono Shrine Tori-no-Ichi! 🌸

📝 Event TIPS: 🏮️🍢The annual Tori-no-Ichi held at Hanazono Shrine in Shinjuku every November is a regular event. 🏮️🍢It is commonly known as the "Great Tori Festival." 🏮️🍢Together with Washin Shrine and Okuninushi Shrine, it is called one of the three great Tori-no-Ichi in the Kanto region. 🏮️🍢On the day of the event, the shrine will be surrounded by lanterns. 🏮️🍢At that time, every household will display gold and silver gleaming Kumade (bear-paw shaped talismans). 🏮️🍢What's most special about Hanazono Shrine is the holding of the pre-festival event (a temple fair the night before the main festival). 🏮️🍢The streets around the shrine will be filled with many food stalls. 🏮️🍢You can walk and taste the delicious food as if it were a festival. #ShinjukuEvent #JapaneseFestival 🗼🎉
