About this event
The 'Akamatsu History Festival', celebrating its commemorative 30th edition this year, will be held. Tracing the footsteps of the great historical figures honored by Kamigori Town, 'Akamatsu Enshin' and 'Otori Keisuke', this festival is dedicated to Akamatsu Enshin, the shugo daimyo (military governor) of Harima Province. This year, a 'costume parade' dressing up as Otori Keisuke and his wife Michi will newly join the warrior procession, adding even greater grandeur to the festival. In the opening warrior procession, warriors equipped with handmade armor and helmets parade around the event venue, and the procession of over 100 people gathered from inside and outside the town is truly impressive. Large crowds of spectators gather to catch a glimpse of this procession filled with historical romance and power. Visitors can also enjoy stage events, kitchen cars (food trucks), stalls, and food kiosks. It is an event where visitors can touch upon the footsteps of great figures who raced through history and feel Kamigori's timeless history firsthand.
