Meiji Jingu Spring Grand Festival 明治神宮春の大祭

1-1 Yoyogikamizonocho, Shibuya City, Tokyo
Late April 2024 - Early May 2024

Surrounded by deep forest and rich nature in the center of Tokyo, Meiji Jingu Shrine celebrated the 100th anniversary of its establishment in 2020. It is dedicated to the deified spirits of Emperor Meiji and Empress Shoken. During the shrine's annual spring grand festival from late April through early May, various traditional performances take place in their honor. You can watch Japan's most skilled artists perform traditional arts such as bugaku (a type of dance for the ancient imperial court), noh and kyogen theater, sankyoku chamber music, hogaku music, hobu dance, satsuma-biwa (Japanese lute), and more. You may also enjoy a stroll in the shrine's forest-like gardens, where you can see spring and early summer blooms like azaleas, yamabuki, and nanja-monja (also known as hitotsubatago).
