Nikko Toshogu Spring Festival

About this event

Nikko Toshogu's Spring Grand Festival is one of Japan's most spectacular ritual events, highlighted by the famous Yabusame horseback archery. A grand procession of over 1,200 participants in Edo-period armor and court dress recreates the spirit of the original dedication ceremony. Set against the backdrop of Toshogu's ornate golden shrines, it is a truly unforgettable spectacle.
