The Bunkyo Chrysanthemum Festival
November 1st (Wed) to November 23rd (Thu, national holiday)
The most representative flower of Japan's autumn undoubtedly is the beautiful chrysanthemum. Hundreds of these flowers can be enjoyed at the Bunkyo Chrysanthemum Festival held on the ground of Yushima Tenmangu. Sugawara no Michizane, otherwise known as the Shinto deity of learning, is enshrined here. Around 2,000 individual plants, carefully raised by chrysanthemum enthusiasts, are lined up around the temple, creating a beautiful sea of color. Some of the highlights are the kiku-ningyo, dolls that are completely clad in chrysanthemum blossoms, as well as the so-called kengai, which is a style of flower arrangement that makes it seem like the colorful blossoms flow over the pot. Another special arrangement is the "thousand blossom plant," a large dome entirely made out of chrysanthemums.

The Asakusa Tori no Ichi Fair
November 6th (Mon) and November 30th (Thu)
The Tori no Ichi Fair is an old custom from the Edo period to wish for prosperity and business success. "Tori" means rooster, which is one of the twelve animals of the Chinese zodiac, and the "Day of the Rooster" is celebrated in November. The festival takes place at Asakusa's Chokoku-ji, as well as various Otori shrines. As the Day of the Rooster comes around every twelve days in November, there are two dates on which the festival is celebrated - in some years, the festival is even being held three times. The first occasion is called the Ichi no Tori, the first rooster, while the second celebration is referred to as Ni no Tori, the second rooster - and so on. Beautifully decorated rakes are sold as good luck charms and a lot of people come and wish for prosperity and success. Why not get your own Day of the Rooster rake?
Entry: free
Hours: all day long

On top of that, make sure to take part in the various workshops that are held during the event, such as tea experiences.
