Title
San'nōsai | 山王祭
Text "Mountain king festival." A festival held June 10–16 at Hie Shrine in Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo. San'nōsai was established as one of the great festivals of Edo (today's Tokyo) dring the Kan'ei era (1624–1644). It and the Kanda Festival were together referred to as Japan's most "unrivaled festivals" (tenka matsuri). Those two together with the Avatar of Nezu Festival (Nezugongen no matsuri) were also referred to as goyō matsuri ("festivals in service of the country"). The festival of today is held every other year and primarily entails a procession of portable shrines. The sight of this grand procession making its way past the buildings of downtown Tokyo is a spectacular one. The imperial carriage (hōren) passes through such neighborhoods Kōjimachi and Yotsuya. The actual festival is on June 15. There is a ceremony at the main shrine (honsha), and the imperial carriage is taken into the Imperial Palace following an appearance by the emperor. The Ginza area is another parishoner (ujiko) district the procession visits. The carriage and procession go around to other downtown neighborhoods including Marunouchi, Shiba, and Kyōbashi, pauses at the midway resting point (otabisho) in Kayabachō, and then returns to the shrine.
