Origine & histoire
Tenjin Matsuri began in 951 CE (Tenryaku 5) and honors Sugawara no Michizane, the Heian-era scholar deified as Tenjin, the god of learning. It is counted as one of Japan's three great festivals alongside Kyoto's Gion Matsuri and Tokyo's Kanda Matsuri.
Bon à savoir
Watching from public streets and the Okawa riverbanks is free; arrive early on July 25 for riverside spots near Sakuranomiya and Kawasaki Park, which fill before the 18:00 boat procession and evening fireworks. Paid reserved seats and boat-boarding experiences require advance reservation and are already on sale for 2026 through the shrine's official ticketing partner; popular seats sell out early, so book ahead.
