As a signature project of the 400th Anniversary of the Kan’ei Gyoko (Imperial Visit to Nijo Castle in 1626), a reenactment of Emperor Go-Mizunoo’s Gyoko Procession will be held on Sunday, December 6, 2026.
Through this event, we will recreate a historical procession together with participants who share a passion for Japanese culture and history and are committed to passing this heritage on to future generations.
The procession will consist of the following three groups:
- Chugu Masako Procession (Chugu: Empress Consort)
- Shogun Iemitsu Procession
- Emperor Go-Mizunoo Procession
The event is expected to feature approximately 330 participants in total.
