Join the Legend: Experience the Enchanting Oji Fox Pageant!

Skip the crowds and make this New Year's Eve unforgettable!
The Oji Fox Pageant isn't just a parade—it's a magical re-enactment of an ancient legend, immortalized in a famous woodblock print, where foxes gather to visit Oji Inari Shrine.

Why Join Us?

● Exclusive View: We reserve your spot right by the shrine for the best view of the magnificent procession.
● Spectacle & Folklore: Watch over 200 people in fox masks and kimonos marching under mysterious, glowing lanterns (foxfire!). It's a surreal, once-a-year event like no other.
● Culture & Culinary Delights: Start your journey with an intimate guided shrine visit, then relax at an authentic izakaya. A certified Sake Sommelier will lead an engaging tasting session, complete with a take-home hinoki sake cup!

This is your ticket to experiencing a true piece of Japanese cultural history.

Don't miss this unique mix of folklore, fine Sake, and an unforgettable show.
