About This Event / イベントについて

Kanda Myojin — Akihabara's neighborhood shrine and the chief shrine of Edo — holds ceremonies throughout the year. From Kagurahajime (first kagura dance of the year) in January, through Setsubun in February, the grand Reitaisai in May, summer subsidiary shrine festivals, autumn ceremonies, and the year-closing Joya-sai in December.

This overview event covers the shrine's full annual calendar. For specific festivals, see the related events below. The shrine is a 5-minute walk from Akihabara Station and is famous for blessing IT businesses and electronics dealers — a uniquely Akihabara touch.
