Free Admission to Asakusa Hanayashiki for Tori-no-Ichi Festival Attendees with Kumade!

Celebrate Tori-no-Ichi at Asakusa Hanayashiki

The Tori-no-Ichi Festival, a beloved tradition dating back to the Edo period, continues to make waves in Asakusa with its exciting events. This year, Asakusa Hanayashiki, Japan's oldest amusement park, is offering a special free admission deal for guests attending the festival. If you bring a kumade purchased at the festival, you can enjoy free entry for up to two people on the festival dates.

The Tori-no-Ichi Festival will take place on November 12 and November 24, 2025, attracting visitors eager to participate in the festive atmosphere. The festival is not only a celebration of gratitude for a safe year but also an occasion to wish for prosperity and good fortune in the coming year.

What is Tori-no-Ichi?

Tori-no-Ichi, or the Rooster Market, has been celebrated since the Edo period as a way to express gratitude for the past year while hoping for blessings and success. This event primarily takes place at three locations: Daiwasai Shrine in Adachi Ward (referred to as 'Kamitori'), Katsuzen-ji Temple in Sensōji (known as 'Nakatōri'), and the famous Washi Shrine in Asakusa ('Shitōri'). While Tori-no-Ichi was once celebrated at all three locations, it has since become synonymous with the Asakusa Washi Shrine due to historical closures in the Meiji period.

During the festival, visitors carry various sizes of kumade—decorative bamboo rakes believed to bring in good fortune and prosperity—and this year, these festive customizations will be welcomed at Hanayashiki!

As you stroll through the amusement park on the free admission days, witness groups of festival attendees proudly displaying their kumade and adding a unique festive vibe to the quintessential park experience. This is a perfect occasion to appreciate the beauty of Asakusa and create lasting memories amid the joyous celebrations.

Don't miss the opportunity to explore the delights of Hanayashiki while participating in this magnificent event. Join your friends and family to make the most out of this special campaign while celebrating tradition.
