5月の京都は葵祭！

皆さん京都の三大祭をご存知ですか？

7月の祇園祭、10月の時代祭に並んで有名なのが

5月の葵祭です！！！

見どころはもちろん15日の祭儀。東山や北山の峰々に囲まれた京都の街を、平安貴族そのままの王朝行列が堂々闊歩。総勢500余名、馬36頭、牛4頭、牛車2台、輿1台が京都御所を出発。下鴨神社、さらには上賀茂神社を目指す姿は圧巻です。京都市中、8キロにもおよぶ道のりを毎年三万を超える見物客たちが見守ります。到着の際、上下両社で行われる社頭の儀では、勅使が御祭文を奏上。御幣物、平安調を偲ばせるあずまあそび（舞人の舞）、神馬の引き回しも奉納されます。

京都に来ておいてこれは見逃せませんね！！！

Hinamatsuri in Kyoto!

Experience the historical custom in the old capital!

Hinamatsuri is a common girl's day celebration in Japan.

Literally translated as Doll Festival,  its origin dates back to Heian Period.

People used to float paper dolls down rivers (Nagashi-bina) on March 3rd,

believing the dolls would carry away their bad luck.

This practice was later incorporated into a court function

in which wealthy families displayed Hina dolls.

Today, we display dolls of the emperor and empress and their attendants,

praying for the future growth and well-being of their daughters.

1st March 11AM～ 

☆Girl's day festival @ Hokyo-ji Temple☆

Enjoy the temple's awesome doll collection and a special dance performance by Tayu (special ranked geisha in Shimabara district). 600 yen for doll exhibition ;)

3rd March 10AM～Noon

★Nagashibina event @ Shimogamo-Shrine★

Pray for the safety of children with women in Heian costumes setting straw Hina dolls afloat on the river in the world heritage. So sweet, eh? Free of charge :)

3rd March 1PM～4PM

☆Hina-Matsuri Festival @ Ichihime Shrine☆

Don't miss the miko dance and the demonstration of court-costume-changing to celebrate the girl's day. Ichihime Shrine is just a walking distance from bAkpAk Kyoto Hostel ;) 1,000 yen for the performances.

Stay with us and pray for girls ;)   bAkpAk Kyoto/Gion Hostel
