Tori-no-Ichi 2026 in Tokyo: rooster fairs on Nov 7 and Nov 19

Tori-no-Ichi is a November fair held at Otori shrines on the days of the rooster. Stalls sell kumade, decorated bamboo rakes said to 'rake in' good fortune, and buyers are sent off with rhythmic hand-clapping. In 2026 the first rooster day is Nov 7 and the second is Nov 19. Each listing shows the shrine's official hours and the nearest station.
