[edit] Lead

"The Sanja Matsuri (三社祭, Three Shrine Festival?), or the Sanja Festival, is one of the three great Shinto festivals in Tokyo, along with the Kanda Matsuri and Sanno Matsuri, and it is considered one of the wildest and largest."

"Wildest and largest" definitely needs a reference.

"Its purpose is to honor three men who established and founded Sensō-ji."

Who are the three men?

[edit] History

The terms "kami", "bosatsu", and Kannon" all needs translations.

[edit] Description of events

Translate "taiko". Also, you should probably just merge all the sub-sections. And, "Day 3, Sunday" needs referencing.
