Held annually in Taito Ward, the festival draws large crowds as local participants carry the massive shrine through the streets in a display of strength and coordination.<\/p>\n<p>Torigoe Festival 2026  highlights takes place on Sunday, June 7, when the lantern-lit Night Parade returns the mikoshi to the shrine. This creates a striking visual spectacle and a more atmospheric experience compared to the daytime procession. Earlier in the day, the main mikoshi procession begins in the morning, moving through the neighborhood as participants chant and celebrate.<\/p>\n<p>Participants carry the shrine through the surrounding streets as the main mikoshi procession begins at 6:30 am on Sunday, June 7. The festival builds toward the evening, with the Night Parade reaching its peak between 7:00 pm and 9:00 pm as the mikoshi returns to Torigoe Shrine.<\/p>\n<p>                    Information<\/p>\n<p>                        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/metropolisjapan.com\/wp-content\/themes\/metropolis\/assets\/images\/event_date.svg\" alt=\"Date\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Start: Jun 6th 2026 at 10:00am<\/p>\n<p>End: Jun 7th 2026 at 9:00pm<\/p>\n<p>                                <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/metropolisjapan.com\/wp-content\/themes\/metropolis\/assets\/images\/event_venue.svg\" alt=\"Venue\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Torigoe Shrine<\/p>\n<p>                                <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/metropolisjapan.com\/wp-content\/themes\/metropolis\/assets\/images\/event_address.svg\" alt=\"Address\"\/><\/p>\n<p>2-4-1 Torigoe, Taito-ku<\/p>\n<p>                            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/metropolisjapan.com\/wp-content\/themes\/metropolis\/assets\/images\/event_ticket.svg\" alt=\"Cost\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\uffe50<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Torigoe Festival 2026 is one of Tokyo\u2019s most energetic traditional festivals, best known for its impressive Sengan-mikoshi, a&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":19757,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[8,52],"class_list":{"0":"post-19756","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tokyo","8":"tag-japan","9":"tag-tokyo"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19756","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19756"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19756\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/19757"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19756"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19756"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19756"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
