    General Tips: Jidai Matsuri Festival
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]

  • Favorite Thing: Held on the 22nd of October every year, the `Jidai Matsuri Festival', or `the festival of ages' is one of the three big festivals in Kyoto and a big tourist attraction in the city. The highlight is a procession of people dressed in costumes representing people from various historical periods.
    the procession begins at the Imperial palace...

    One of the things that some of the locals were talking about was that the young participants in the procession sometimes didnt take it seriously enough, and would often be wearing sneakers for footwear, with the traditional dresses. The elders were commenting that it reflected on todays values amongst the youth...
