Tosho-gu Address

1 review of Nikko Matsuri

A procession seen by coincidence

The visit to Nikko is amazing in itself, but if you are lucky enough to go to a matsuri or festival, it is even better. And that's what happened to us on our 1st trip to Japan. On October 17 we went to visit the temple of Tosho-gu when we ran into this fall festival where many people appeared in samurai costumes. From children to seniors, hundreds of people dressed in medieval costumes. In a solemn procession down the Tosho-gu temple with shrines, on horseback, on foot, it was definitely a sight that was incredible. This event reminded me a little of the Moors and Christians, but maybe I missed the music that often encourages these celebrations.

We were happy to run into this matsuri the day we visited Nikko.
