時代祭は葵祭、祇園祭とともに京都三大祭の一つとして知られており、平安遷都1100年記念祭を奉祝する行事として、明治28年に始まりました。
維新勤王隊の奏する笛、太鼓の音色を先頭に行列は順次、平安京の造営された延暦時代にさかのぼり、京都の秋を代表する祭となっています。
<Highlights of the Jidai Festival>
The highlight of the Jidai Matsuri is the procession of people dressed in the manners and customs of the era.
The history of Kyoto, and indeed the history of Japan, is divided into 20 eras, going back from the new era (Meiji Restoration) to the ancient era (Enryaku period).
The magnificent procession is approximately 2km long and involves approximately 2,000 people.
You can see the culmination of traditional craft techniques cultivated in Kyoto in each of the costumes and ritual implements used in the procession.
