Tokyo cross event guide

Japan is very lively in winter, with snow-capped scenery, bright and romantic fireworks, and terrible light shows. For the upcoming New Year’s Eve, there are some great things to do here in Tokyo, Japan. Let’s organize some New Year’s Eve activities for you right away!

Zōjoji Temple

One of the most representative New Year’s Eve countdown places in Tokyo, Sojoji Temple will hold a “pure burning ceremony” at 11 pm on December 31st. Let everyone burn the old guard to thank you for your guarding over the past year.

After entering the New Year, the abbot will take the lead in ringing the bell as soon as possible, and then let the believers ring the bell together to pray for purity of body and mind to welcome the New Year.

Moreover, behind Sojoji Temple is Tokyo Tower, where you can enjoy the scenery of Tokyo Tower in the New Year!

Address: No. 4-7-35, Shi Park, Minato-ku, Tokyo

Event time: December 31, 23:00, Imperial Guard Fire Festival; New Year’s Eve 23:30~02:303

Speaking of New Year activities, how could there be no popular Sensoji Temple in Tokyo! As one of the temples with a long history, the New Year’s Eve event is also a time to ring in the new year and visit for the first time!

Nakho Oji Shrine will hold the "Fox Prince Parade" on New Year's Eve, an event with a unique Japanese style.

The reason why this event is held is because it is said that foxes from all over Kanto used to gather together to worship Inaoji Shrine during the New Year, but now there is a tradition that everyone dresses up as a fox every New Year. Parade and New Year greetings together, very Japanese!

Address: 1-12-26 Shomachi, Kita-ku, Tokyo
