About
The Hanazono Shrine Festival is the shrine's main festival held on the weekend (Saturday to Monday, with Friday included in main festival years) closest to May 28th. In the main festival years, an ornate float leads the way for the shrine's huge 1.5-Ton Honsha portable shrine measuring 1.1 Meter wide and 3 meters high and the Raiden portable shrine. They parade from the shrine along Yasukuni-dori road, Shinjuku-dori road, and Meiji-dori road. In secondary festival years, portable shrines from the shrine's eight Shinjuku neighborhoods assemble at the shrine. The shrine has many food stalls crowded with people.

The area
Neighborhood: Shinjuku
Shinjuku is the commuting capital of Tokyo, and contains the busiest train station in the world. To the west, there's an office district with the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Office at its center. To the east, there’s a district with long-established department stores, cinemas and theaters. Shinjuku Gyoen is a park originally built as the garden for the Imperial Household. It is quite famous as a venue for cherry-blossom viewing in March and April. In Shinjuku, many restaurants operate all night, and districts such as Omoide Yokocho (Memory Lane) or Shinjuku Golden Machi have back streets filled with tiny restaurants and bars that reflect each owner’s unique taste and style.

酉の市と並んでの二大イベント
May 2016 • Family
歌舞伎町に近く、ビル群に囲まれていますが、境内には意外と緑が多く、まわりの喧騒が嘘のようです。
11月の酉の市の時は、熊手や屋台の店が出て、大変な賑わいですが、それと並んで人出が多いのが例大祭です。とくに神輿の練り歩きは、迫力があります。
今年は5月27日から29日までで、神輿がでる大祭は28日です。

2017年は5月28日が本祭
May 2016 • Family
新宿歌舞伎町の近くとはいえ、普段の境内は静かで落ち着いた神社です。それがものすごい人出と出店で賑わうのが例大祭です。
2017年の日程は、5月27日が宵宮祭、28日が大祭となっています。いつもと違った新宿の雰囲気を味わうのもいいものです。

有特色的新宿花園神社例大祭
May 2017 • Solo
大祭的位置靠近歌舞伎町，被很多建築物包圍。大祭主要是看神轎出巡，早上約9時多出神社，晚上約9時多回神社。神轎會在新宿街頭繞行，建議可以早上一起出巡，而下午在新宿街頭逛逛，晚上到神社吃些地道美食，再從那邊看神轎回神社。

５月に行われる新宿のお祭り
May 2016 • Solo
毎年５月下旬に、花園神社で行われるお祭り。神輿が出て、靖国通りや、明治通り、タカシマヤ前などを練り歩きます。周辺の新宿の街が、祭り一色になります。屋台も沢山出て、秋の酉の市と並び、花園神社がにぎわいます。

毎年、大変賑やか。
May 2015 • Solo
花園神社は、この界隈で最も大きく有名な神社。秋は酉の市が有名だが、５月下旬には例大祭が行われている。やや広い境内や入口付近の歩道には屋台がずらりと並び賑やかである。また、新宿通り等大通りに神輿が進み、なかなか壮大であるが見学スペースを確保するのが大変。そんな時は、ルート上の路地でビールを飲みながら待っていると神輿を見れることもある。

新宿の花園神社で毎年5月下旬の土・日・月曜日に行われています。表の年といううのがあり、その年は神輿の渡御が行われます。花園神社から靖国通りと新宿通り、明治通りを歩いて回るのが見ごたえあって盛り上がります。

著名的花園神社例大祭
May 2019 • Solo
花園神社例大祭一直是新宿著名的祭典，在晚上舉行。這個祭典有遊行的元素，先在花園神社集合後，再走過明治通、靖國通及新宿通御。第一日夜晚先開始宵宮祭，第二日日頭開始大祭式，第三日係神幸祭・本社神轎周圍巡遊，最後一日為後宴祭，每天人都很多呢。

歌舞伎町に近い神社のお祭。普段は新宿の雰囲気に飲まれてしまう神社ですが、お祭ともなると神輿が出たり屋台がでてりとても盛り上がります。
