Jidai Festival
This traditional festival has been held for over 100 years since it was first started in 1895 to commemorate the 1,100th year since the relocation of the capital in the Heian period. Together with the Aoi Festival and the Gion Festival, the Jidai Festival is considered one of Kyoto's three greatest festivals. The main event is the historical costume parade-lead by performers dressed as ancient soldiers playing flutes and drums, some 2,000 people forming a line two kilometers long parade forth wearing historical costumes from the Meiji to the ancient Heian period. Many people from around the country as well as the world come to enjoy the sight.
