Tokyo History Festival at Asakusa in Tokyo - Nov 3rd 2013
Update: Nov 3rd, 2013
The 25th of Tokyo History Festival(東京時代祭り) was held at Asakusa(浅草) in Tokyo on the 3rd of November 2013.
Local people march in various ancient outfits, such as aristocrat, warrior and citizen
from Heian period(平安時代)(794 - 1185A.C.) to Meiji Period(明治時代)(1868 - 1912).
Some act popular tycoons, such as 'Minamoto no Yoritomo(源頼朝)' and 'Tokugawa Ieyasu(徳川家康)'.
I was not at a good position to see this festival.
The best place is right in front of the stage which is occupied by authorized people.
I hope the festival association think over.
Here are some videos.
I put more ☆ marks in order of my favorite.
