About Jidai Festival
Jidai Festival is one of the three major festivals in Kyoto held on late in October every year, and it is a festival of relatively shallow Heian Jingu, which began in the Meiji period.
The Jidai Festival is a festival in which the people who wore the costume by customs of each age before when the capital moved to Tokyo are procession, “Meiji Restoration”, “Edo period”, “Azuchi Momoyama period”, “Muromachi period”, “Nanbokucho Era”, “Kamakura period”, “Heian Era”, “Enryaku” and the procession goes back to the era.
The course starts at the Kyoto Imperial Palace and arrives at Heian Jingu Shrine through Karasuma Dori, Oike Dori and Sanjo Dori. There is a pay seat in various places, but it is recommended if you see it for free in the vicinity of the Sakai Town Gomon (South Gate) of Kyoto Imperial Palace and the Oten Gate (South Gate) in Heian Jingu Shrine.
As an aside, my sister has participated in this festival wearing the costume of Baekje. At that time, there is a memory of was taking a lot of pictures around the procession.
