History

The emperors used to live in Kyoto for many centuries since 794, the year of capital foundation in Kyoto. It was 1868 when the emperor moved the capital to Tokyo. People in Kyoto needed to create the Jidai Festival to revitalize the city.
Heian Shrine was built in 1895 in commemoration of the 1,100th anniversary of founding the capital in Kyoto. It is dedicated to two emperors: Kanmu, the first emperor of Kyoto, and Komei, the last emperor of Kyoto.

Kasagake Ceremony

Kasagake is an ancient Japanese archery event that appears in the Nihon Shoki (Chronicles of Japan). There are two types of kasagake: tokasagake, in which the archer shoots at a 40-centimeter square target about 5 meters away from the horse, and kokasagake, in which the archer shoots at a 10-centimeter square target set up low on the ground. Female archers also ride on horseback. There will be seats for spectators and English commentary will be provided.
