Held since the Edo period, Sanja Matsuri honors Hinokuma Hamanari, Hinokuma Takenari and Hajino Nakatomo, the three men said to have founded Senso-ji Temple, and remains Asakusa's signature festival.
Bueno saber
Official 2027 dates weren't announced as of July 2026 -- the festival always runs the third Friday-Sunday of May, so this page uses May 21-23, 2027 as a working estimate; confirm on Asakusa Shrine's site closer to the date. If they hold, arrive by 6am on the Sunday for the dawn mikoshi launch, and expect the area around Kaminarimon and Asakusa Shrine to be packed shoulder-to-shoulder by mid-morning.
