Jidai Matsuri<br />
nd<br />
22 October,<br />
Heian Jingu Shrine, Kyoto<br />
One of the most prevalent festivals of Kyoto, Jidai Matsuri is held at Heian Jingu Shrine.<br />
Unique of its kind, the festival represents various eras of Kyoto's history which is<br />
about 1200 years old. Near about 2000 people dress up in various costumes and<br />
conduct a parade throughout the city. Horses along with the oxen start<br />
marching from Kyoto's Imperial Palace. The old boulevard and houses of<br />
Kyoto makes the spectators feel as if they have travelled to<br />
antiquity. International visitors get an ideal chance to know<br />
about Japan's history chronologically. The costumes<br />
and the customs are very well portrayed<br />
through the fete.
