The Aoi Matsuri is one of the oldest and most celebrated parades in Japan. So much so, the word “Matsuri” originally referred only to the Aoi festival. Full of pageantry, the festival transforms the usually tranquil park and gardens into a big costume party, with people dressed in Heian period (794–1185) court regalia parading from the Imperial Palace. Full of pomp and occasion, it makes its way to the Shimagamo Shrine, where the townsfolk celebrate with dancing and games, like archery competitions and horse races. This festival is known as one of the big three festivals in Kyoto, the others being the Gion and Jidai festival, or the Festival of the Ages.
