Jidai Matsuri Festival
22 Oct 2015
One of Kyoto's most important festivals and a great lesson in history. The procession starting with soldiers of the Bakumatsu (the end of the Edo period) proceeds Kyoto's main street of autumn with playing flutes. Then it proceeds to the Edo period, Azuchi Momoyama, Yoshino, Muromachi, Kamakura, Fujiwara, then to Enryaku. Each era's costumes will be worn by the participants. A colourful, exotic costume party dedicated to the Old Capital's 1,100-year history from the 8th to 20th century. The 2-km procession which consists of about 2,000 people (including 70 horses, 2 cows, carriages) departs from the Imperial Palace and slowly makes its way through the streets of Kyoto taking about 2 hours. The fantastic range of authentic historical costumes worn by the participants will fascinate the audience. For viewing the procession, the charged seats are recommended which will be set at the Kyoto Imperial Palace, Oike Street and Heian Jingu shrine.
