Background
Festival of Kanda Myojin in Tokyo, one of Japan’s Three Great Festivals. The grand mikoshi procession is usually held in odd-numbered years.
Impact on travellers
2027 is an odd year—grand mikoshi processions are likely. Expect crowds around Kanda, Nihonbashi and Akihabara; arrive early or avoid peak routes.
Extra notes
Exact parade days follow Kanda Myojin’s annual notice; mid-May peak is approximate.
