Origine & histoire
One of Edo's three great festivals, the Sanno Matsuri honors the guardian deity of Hie Shrine; during the Edo period its procession was permitted to enter the shogun's castle, and today it still passes the Imperial Palace. The full festival alternates yearly with Kanda Matsuri.
Bon à savoir
The full procession runs only in even-numbered years (next: 2028); odd years see a smaller observance. Check the route map in advance and stake out a spot near Ginza or the Imperial Palace for the best views.
