What's this celebration in Japan?
We saw a couple of groups in the streets of Tokyo, Japan last sunday (May 28, 2017) engaged in some kind of celebration but couldn't find anyone english speaking around to explain to us what's going on.
Does anyone happen to recognise what celebration this may be?

Best Answer
Perhaps the biggest festival in Tokyo at the end of May is the Sanja Festival. If you were in Asakusa, then that is probably the right answer.
Apparently, as you were in Shinjuku, the Hanozono festival is also possible.
