This Year, 'Going Out in Yukata' is Trending in Asakusa! Summary of Summer Events Around Asakusa (2025 Edition)
① Sanja Matsuri (May 16-18, 2025)
The Sanja Matsuri, Asakusa's largest traditional event, is a magnificent Shinto ritual that has continued since the Edo period.
You can enjoy the powerful mikoshi procession! The sight of mikoshi parading through the town accompanied by energetic shouts allows you to feel like "part of the festival" in a way that mere sightseeing cannot, especially when participating in a yukata.
The street stalls lining the town, and the moments when mikoshi pass each other, will create unforgettable memories.
The streets of Asakusa, when walked in traditional Japanese attire (washo), offer countless scenes that will make you want to snap a photo.📷
