Step Into the Magic of Oji's Fox Folklore! Are you looking for an unforgettable way to celebrate New Year in Japan?
On New Year's Eve, foxes from across the region would visit Oji Inari Shrine. This enchanting tale, immortalized in Utagawa's ukiyo-e artwork, inspired the creation of the Oji Fox Pageant organized by passionate locals. More than 200 participants gather with yellow lanterns symbolizing foxfires in their hands, wearing kimonos, fox masks or fox makeup.
Your journey begins with a visit to 3 local shrines guided by a knowledgeable Japanese host, followed by a lively evening at a cozy izakaya. Say “Kanpai (cheers)” with sake served in aromatic hinoki cypress masu cups. Learn about sake brewing from a Sake sommelier before diving into an exciting sake-tasting.
As the countdown to midnight approaches, head out to witness the grand finale: the dazzling fox procession, complete with traditional dances, including the powerful lion dance.
Don't miss this magical celebration.
