Sengen Shrine Grand Festival

One of Ota Ward's largest events with approximately 120 food stalls lining the shrine grounds and Route 7. The main mikoshi and float parish procession runs from about 12:30 to 17:00. Amateur performing arts show (both days from 18:30). Sacred Ura-yasu dance performance by kindergarteners (at the main festival ceremony).

Founded during the Kyoho era (1716-1736) under the 8th Shogun Tokugawa Yoshimune, following the popularity of Fuji worship after the Hoei eruption (1707). Enshrining Fuji Hongu Sengen Shrine, it has been revered as Omori area's guardian deity for fire protection, safe childbirth, child-rearing, and matchmaking.

Sengen Shrine was founded during the Kyoho era (1716-1736) under the 8th Shogun Tokugawa Yoshimune, following the Hoei eruption (1707) and the resulting Fuji worship boom. The grand festival has been held as a traditional ceremony since the shrine's founding, with approximately 120 food stalls making it one of Ota Ward's largest festivals. In recent years, it spans three days including the Friday evening vigil, established as the area's summer tradition.

7-minute walk from Keikyu Heiwajima Station. Also within walking distance from JR Omori Station. Address: 2-2-7 Omori-nishi, Ota, Tokyo. No dedicated parking.

With approximately 120 food stalls, afternoons to evenings on both days are especially crowded. Sunday, when the mikoshi procession takes place, draws more visitors. Earlier time slots are more relaxed.

Be careful of foot traffic in the Route 7 food stall area. Plenty of street food available including yakisoba, yakitori, grilled squid, shaved ice, and baby castella. Also many game stalls like shooting and ring toss, great for families with kids.
