Tori No Ichi

An annual traditional Japanese festival held in November to pray for good fortune, health and business prosperity. A lantern-lit night that feels like stepping into old Edo — all grilled squid, hot sake and ornate lucky rakes.

The signature item is the kumade — a decorative bamboo rake covered in lucky charms (koban gold coins, Okame masks, the Seven Gods of Fortune) meant to "rake in" wealth and luck.

Eat everything. Yakisoba, takoyaki, grilled corn, chocolate bananas, hot sake in paper cups.

Ben to leave around 8–9pm.
