The Toshinoichi Market is a historic year-end event held in Asakusa, offering a variety of New Year-themed items and lucky charms. This tradition dates back to the 1660s and takes place annually from December 17 to December 19.

One of the market’s highlights is the Hagoita, an ornamental paddle thought to bring good luck. These paddles come in a wide range of designs, from classic Japanese patterns to modern depictions of popular celebrities, creating an intriguing mix of tradition and contemporary culture.

With its vibrant atmosphere and unique cultural offerings, the Toshinoichi Market is a wonderful spot to soak up the festive spirit of Tokyo in December while browsing for special souvenirs and enjoying the lively surroundings.
