The areas of Ginza, Kyobashi, Hatchobori, and Nihonbashi Minami in Chuo-ku were crowded with the Sanno Festival at Hie-jinja Shrine Reitaisai festival, known as the Tenka Festival.
On June 11, the Shinko Festival, the largest ceremony, departed from Akasaka Hie-jinja Shrine in a 300-meter row and traveled around the shrine parishioner area via Kayabacho auxiliary shrine in resting place of portable shrines, around the city center of Chiyoda-ku and Chuo-ku.

Ten portable shrines from the participating districts took imperial procession in front of the Kyobashi Kitazume Police Museum on Chuo-dori to Nihonbashi Hashigami.
