Sanja Matsuri, the annual festival of Asakusa Shrine, is one of the largest Shinto festivals held in Tokyo. 1.5 million people visit Asakusa district for the festival every year. The shrine is located right next to Senso-ji Temple, which is known as the oldest Buddhist temple in Tokyo, as well as a popular tourists destination. During the festival days, you can see the precincts of the shrine and the temple filled with numerous food stalls and entertainment stalls. The best part of the festival is mikoshi, or portable Shinto shrines. Three great mikoshi from Asakusa Shrine and 100 mikoshi from surrounding shrines parade down the whole district. It is indeed a spectacle.

Kawaguchi Shrine, initially built in 10th century, is being worshipped as the guardian god of my city Kawaguchi. The autumn festival is held at the historical Shinto shrine every October. Every couple of years, many mikoshi, or portable shrines, gather at the festival from neighboring areas and parade around the shrine. Thirteen mikoshi joined it this year. They left the shrine one after another on a sunny morning, paraded around vigorously and gathered again at the square in front of Kawaguchi Station, to perform a spectacle together.

Keyakizaka Street, which is lined with keyaki trees, or Japanese zelkova trees, passes through Roppongi Hills, one of the luxurious areas in Tokyo. The trees along the street are gorgeously illuminated every Christmas season.
When you stand on the pedestrian bridge across the street on a winter evening, you can see the Tokyo Tower soaring and shining at the end of the glittering street. Even if you were busy preparing Christmas, you could not help stopping there to enjoy the brilliant scenery.

![Omoide Yokocho, or Piss Alley, Shinjuku, Tokyo [iPhone 4S/HD]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/yeFNSqaZtiI/mqdefault.jpg "Omoide Yokocho, or Piss Alley, Shinjuku, Tokyo [iPhone 4S/HD]
At the foot of the skyscrapers in West Shinjuku, there is a narrow street named Omoide Yokocho, or Memory Alley, along which tiny restaurants and bars stand side by side. It is also called Shomben Yokocho, which means Piss Alley.
Many years ago, when the street was serving as a black market after World War 2, there were no bathrooms there. People were forced to piss in the street. The name Piss Alley may have originated from this time period, however, times have changed. A lot of reasonable restaurants and bars were built there, also public lavatories.
Nowadays it is a middle-aged mens oasis. They enjoy eating and drinking without having to worry about where to piss.
