Asakusa, Tokyo Skytree Town, Nikko, Kawagoe & Ikebukuro: Welcome to Tobu!

Toshogu Shrine celebrates Taisai (grand festival) twice a year😀
“Yabusame (horseback archery)” and “Hyakumono-zoroi Sennin Musha Gyoretsu (procession of the 1000 samurai)” are held during the Taisai in autumn♫

Yabusame is a Japanese traditional event shooting arrows from the backs of running horses. 😮
Musha Gyoretsu is a reproduced procession of samurai who separately enshrined the spirit of Tokugawa Ieyasu as a deity to Nikko. 

The view of samurai walking in the costume of those days is just like a picture scroll of the olden days💓

October 16: Yabusame, from 1:00 pm
October 17: Hyakumono-zoroi Sennin Musha Gyoretsu, from 11:00 am
Access: Take a World Heritage Sightseeing Bus from Tobu Nikko Station. Approximately 3-minute walk from “Omote-sando” Bus Stop.
From Asakusa to Nikko, it takes approximately 2 hours with the Limited Express "SPACIA"!
