7 years in a row, Tokyo Tower celebrates Boy’s Festival with 333 carp-shaped streamers called koinobori (same number as the Tower’s height) and a gigantic saury-shaped streamer (sanmanobori). The saury-shaped streamer is put up to show support for Ofunato City (Iwate Prefecture), which was struck by the Tohoku earthquake and tsunami in 2011.
