About this event

Of the many year-end markets held across Edo, the one at Yagenbori came last, which is why it is called the Osame no Toshi-no-Ichi, the closing year-end market. Today only two such markets survive in Tokyo: this one and the Hagoita Market at Senso-ji. Timed to the temple's final Fudo festival of the year, stalls sell shimekazari straw decorations and lucky charms. Yagenbori Fudo-in is counted among Edo's three great Fudo temples with Meguro and Mejiro. On the last day there is a grand goma fire ritual, plus a memorial for storytellers' fans and street storytelling, reflecting the area's ties to Edo kodan.

Highlights

• Pick up New Year shimekazari and lucky charms at the last market of the year
• The special grand goma fire ritual on the final day, burned before the image of Fudo Myoo
• The harisen memorial for the paper fans kodan storytellers strike, and street storytelling in the evening
• In recent years Edo daikagura, lion dances and chindon-ya bands have added year-end sound to the streets
• Higashi-Nihombashi is home of Yagenbori, the shop credited with inventing shichimi spice; worth a stop afterward

Good for

Anyone wanting New Year decorations from a traditional market, fans of kodan and Edo seasonal customs, and those pairing it with the Asakusa Hagoita Market

Good to know

• Stall hours vary by year; in 2024 they were 10 am to 7 pm
