About This Event / イベントについて
The Oeshiki at Zoshigaya Kishomojindo is a traditional Edo-period festival designated as a Toshima Intangible Folk Cultural Property. Participants carry mantō — 3-4m tall lanterns adorned with white washi paper flowers — through the streets, accompanied by the rhythmic beating of uchiwa-daiko (fan drums).
The October 18 parade starts from Ikebukuro Station East Exit at 19:00, making its way to the temple. The sight of the tall white lanterns swaying through the dark streets is unforgettable. Free to watch — a magical autumn evening event.
