1 week into the one of the biggest festival in Kyoto, Zidai Festival !!
What amaze you most in this festival is that distance, from Karasuma st to Heian-Zinguu, 4.5 km, over all !! It's 5 times longer than distance of the parade held in Disneyland !! For such long distance, it's rather hard to find where you cannot see.
As you can see from the pic below, people in the line are all in the traditional wearing. These cloths used to be worn by ancient Japanese. As they are walking, cloths they are wearing will be gradually changed from traditional cloths to modern. That represents the change of the Japanese history by their fashion style.
Watching them walking through, you feel as if you had been transported through the time. Come and experience !!
京都の三大祭りの一つ、時代祭りまで一週間となりました。
時代ごとに変わる演者の衣装は見ていて飽きません。烏丸通、御池通、河原町通、三条通から平安神宮まで4.5キロ間を練り歩く演者を見ているとまるでタイムスリップしたかのよう。京都に来られる方は必見です。
