This vivid 4K street video documents the Sengan Mikoshi procession during the 2025 Torigoe Festival in Tokyo. The Sengan Mikoshi, a sacred portable shrine weighing over one ton, is carried with remarkable energy through the winding, narrow alleyways of the Yagiuichi Minami (Yagiuichi South) area by a dedicated local group. The footage captures the intense physical and communal effort required to maneuver the massive mikoshi through tight spaces, accompanied by echoing festival chants and enthusiastic participation from both carriers and the crowd.

The Torigoe Festival is one of Tokyo’s most historic summer events. Centered around Torigoe Shrine (鳥越神社), the festival is renowned for its festive atmosphere, traditional rituals, and dynamic mikoshi processions that wind through the neighborhood. The Sengan Mikoshi is famous for being one of the heaviest in Tokyo, and pushing it through residential alleys is a dramatically symbolic act of shared perseverance and community strength.

Viewers are also introduced to recommended locations near the festival route. Torigoe Shrine itself is the centerpiece of the event, steeped in local tradition and celebrated cultural significance. The Kuramae area, a fashionable enclave just steps away, offers a wide selection of artisan shops, trendy cafes, and a unique blend of old and new Tokyo atmospheres. For those seeking quieter moments, the Sumida River Terrace provides a scenic riverside escape for walking or relaxation.

This video is ideal for those interested in Japanese matsuri culture, immersive street scenes, or energetic background footage that transports you directly into the heart of Tokyo’s summer festival traditions.
