Sanja Matsuri (三社祭, "Three Shrine Festival") is one of Tōkyō's three largest Shintō festivals. The festival is held in honour of Hinokuma Hamanari, Hinokuma Takenari, and Hajino Nakatomo, the three men who established and founded the Sensō-ji Buddhist temple. Sanja Matsuri is held on the third weekend of May at Asakusa Shrine.
