To commemorate the opening of the 'Yokai Immersive Exhibition TOKYO' [Friday, March 27 - Sunday, June 28 at Terrada Warehouse G1 Building (2-6-4 Higashi-Shinagawa, Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo)], the 'Asakusa Hyakki Yagyo Parade' will be held at 'Asakusa Rokku SAKURA STREET' in Asakusa Rokku Broadway.
The 'Hyakki Yagyo', derived from Japanese folklore where various yokai march in a procession, will be held as a tie-up between 'Asakusa Rokku SAKURA STREET' and the 'Yokai Immersive Exhibition TOKYO'. Over 70 yokai, including those from general advance recruitment and greeting yokai from the exhibition, will gather in Asakusa and parade through the streets accompanied by the magical performance of a biwa player riding a leading rickshaw. Furthermore, in collaboration with the fragrance brand 'Hatenko', you can enjoy the sensory effect of a cherry blossom blizzard scent. The yokai's Hyakki Yagyo can be viewed and photographed from the roadside, so please take this opportunity to enjoy the otherworldly experience of yokai parading through Asakusa.
