Nihombashi Ebisu-ko Bettara-ichi

The Nihombashi Ebisu-ko Bettara-ichi is a seasonal festival on October 19 and 20 around Odenma-cho, Chuoku. The fair started in 1606 when the expansion of the Edo castle made the village residents of Takarada-mura move to a new location, which became Odenma-cho. An Ebisu Statue was said to be a gift from General Tokugawa Ieyasu and a festival in honor of Ebisu is held by the Odenma-cho community. The markets are held the day before which became the "Bettara-ichi" or Pickle Fair.
