One of the major matsuri (festivals) in Tokyo is the Sanja Matsuri at the Asakusa-jinja in Asakusa. From Friday to Sunday there are all kinds of activities, and the main event is the carrying around of the mikoshi ('portable shrines') through the neighbourhood. There are three different routes, with more than 40 mikoshi and at the end of the Sunday they all come back to the shrine again. This is a picture of one of these, with the Senso-ji in the background. As you can see there are huge crowds to watch the festivities.
