Featuring displays of culture from Tohoku and Tokyo, will be the first major event held in the Toranomon area, the new cultural and commercial heart of Tokyo
TOKYO, Oct 13 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- The TOKYO SHINTORA MATSURI Executive Committee today announced that it will hold its TOKYO SHINTORA MATSURI festival on Tokyo's Shintora-dori Avenue, the new thoroughfare constructed as part of the Toranomon area redevelopment, on November 19 and 20. The festival will be the first major event utilizing the new space created in the Shintora (Shimbashi–Toranomon) district, Tokyo's new international hub for business and culture. It will include the Tohoku Rokkonsai (six festivals) Parade, a special street display combining the attractions of individual festivals from the cities of Aomori, Akita, Morioka, Yamagata, Sendai, and Fukushima in the Tohoku region.
The Tohoku Rokkonsai Parade was first staged in 2011 in the city of Sendai, aiming to inspire the recovery of a region struck by the Great East Japan Earthquake earlier that year; it has since been staged annually in other major cities across Tohoku. Celebrating the diversity and resilience of the region, the 300 meter long parade will proceed along Shintora-dori Avenue on November 20, with more than 300 dancers and other performers presenting features of the six Tohoku city festivals.
