About this event
The Shinjuku Tori-no-ichi Fair is a traditional Japanese autumn festival held annually at Hanazono Shrine to pray for good fortune, prosperity and business success.
The main attraction is the colorful market selling kumade, decorated bamboo rakes believed to gather good luck and wealth. These elaborate ornaments are adorned with gold coins, miniature treasure ships, lucky masks and other auspicious symbols.
Visitors can explore hundreds of stalls selling lucky charms and Japanese street food, experience traditional shrine rituals, and enjoy the lively atmosphere created by illuminated lanterns and celebratory hand-clapping whenever a kumade is purchased.
The festival is particularly atmospheric after dark, when the shrine’s lanterns light up the surrounding market in the heart of Shinjuku.
