Asakusa Matsuri Museum

Do you know Sanja Festival (三社祭)?

This festival is held in Asakusa Shrine on the third weekend of May every year.

Unfortunately,
many festivals in Tokyo got cancelled due to the earthquake.
Sanja Festival did too.

In order to hand down the spirit of Shitamachi (traditional district) to the next generation,
" Asakusa Matsuri Museum " opened on Kaminarimon street in Asakusa.
It is limited period until May 27.
