Samurai Festival - Taira no Masakado Iwai-Bando Matsuri
On the second Sunday of November a samurai festival is held in the small (not too mention difficult to reach without a car) town of Iwai-Bando to celebrate the famous or rather infamous 10th Century samurai Taira no Masakado.
In 939 after several years of personal feuding in the Kanto area, Masakado declared himself Shinno (New Emperor) driving out government officials in the area and replacing them with his own followers.
In March 940 Masakado was finally defeated and killed. His head was taken to Kyoto but legends say it flew off on its own accord and landed in the Otemachi area of today's Tokyo where a shrine was built. Those who disturb the shrine have suffered from Masakado's wrath from beyond the grave.
The festival has a variety of activities - a main parade with horses, kyudo (Japanese archery), taiko drumming, mochi maki (throwing mochi cakes), and chanbara (movie-style sword fighting).

Ibaraki-Bando- Festival por Taira no Masakado Masakado Matsuri
Taira no Masakado (nacido en el 903 y fallecido en el segundo mes lunar del año 940), fue un samurái deificado del período Heian de Japón, que dirigió una rebelión contra el gobierno central de Kioto.
Masakado nació en un prominente linaje noble, el Kammu Heishi Taira y era hijo de Taira no Yoshimasa. Cuando era joven, sirvió en la corte imperial de Kioto, la capital en aquel entonces de Japón, y luego se dedicó a la vida de caballero rural en las provincias del este de Japón, al noreste de la actual moderna ciudad de Tokio. Se rebeló contra la corte imperial en 939 y se proclamó emperador. Tras varios meses de lucha fue derrotado y decapitado por su primo, Taira no Sadamori. Su cabeza fue llevada de vuelta a Kioto y fue expuesta en exhibición como castigo ejemplarizante.

Samurai Battle Fest - Siege of Hachigata Castle, Yorii 寄居北條まつり
The Siege of Hachigata Castle in 1590 is merely a footnote in the grand campaign of Toyotomi Hideyoshi to teach the haughty Hojo Clan of Odawara to respect his authority as the strongest leader in medieval Japan. However, in the town of Yorii they make it a big deal with a battle festival where they fire makeshift canons and have people dressed in armor battling each other with soft-tipped spears.
It's a fun festival held every Spring. In the past it seems it was in April now it seems the second Sunday of May but don't quote me on that. Definitely worth checking out though!
Japanese Festival of the Dead - (Obon) Mitama Festival at Yasukuni Shrine in Tokyo
Obon is the Japanese Festival of the Dead in which Japanese believe the souls of the departed return home for a brief while. Obon is a Buddhist tradition but in the native Shinto faith there is the Mitama Festival which is in association with Obon. Mitama means soul of a deceased person.
At Yasukuni Shrine they celebrate Mitama/Obon Festival in July. Although a place of Shintoism, Yasukuni pretty does much of what traditional Obon celebrations do particularly Bon Odori (dances) and Toro Nagashi (place paper lanterns in the water). The only difference is the Mikoshi (portable Shinto shrine) which they march up to the shrine swaying and chanting.
Tokyo’s Legend of Taira no Masakado Grave | Japanese Vengeful Spirit Story
Taira no Masakado 平将門 (たいらのまさかど) may have died in the year 940, the story is still important to the city of Tokyo and Tokyoites give much respect to him. Right in the center of Tokyo’s financial district is Taira no Masakado's grave which is surrounded by sky scrapers! The reason why the site still exists for over 1000 years is an important part of the city’s history.
MAP:
It’s even famously listed on the National Tax Website!

NOTE: if you do come to the site, please show the utmost respect because even if you don’t believe in the legend or superstition, many Tokyoites do.

Samurai Festival - Oyama Sassa Narimasa Sengoku Matsuri おおやま佐々成政戦国時代祭り
Oyama Sassa Narimasa Sengoku Matsuri is a small festival in the small town of Kamidaki in Toyama Prefecture. Sassa was a samurai leader of the Sengoku Era (1467-1600) who for a brief period ruled over the area of Toyama. He was noted for making a number of improvements which helped the people.
Unfortunately, for Sassa he got caught up in the usual Sengoku politics of assassination and power struggles. He backed the wrong horses and was reassigned to Kyushu where he was later accused of mismanagement of his fief and ordered to commit seppuku (ritual suicide) in 1588.
In the end of July, a short procession of samurai and ladies is made down the street featuring Sassa Narimasa on horseback followed by his rival Maeda Toshiie. Two teams representing the rivals play tamaire (ball toss game).
1,500 Warriors: Shingen-ko Matsuri is Japan's Largest Samurai Festival
The Guinness Book of World Records call it the largest samurai festival in Japan. Tabiasobi talks about the Shingen-ko Matsuri held each spring in honor of Sengoku warlord Shingen Takeda. Yes, he wishes he was dressed in Samurai garb, too. Also, did you know the tabi in Tabiasobi refers to travel, which is severely lacking in this channel? Travel and play, baby. Travel and play.

Samurai Japan | Kachiya Festival 2019 | Going Back 1000 Years
????????TOKYO EVENTS VLOGGER????
LEMME ENTERTAIN YOU
???? Going back 1000 years, Fijiwara no Hidesato prayed for victory before a battle at Katori Shrine. His prayer was realized so he offered his bow and arrow to the shrine in honor of the victory. This is still commemorated to this day during the Kachiya Festival. Festivities include a dedication to the kachiya (victory arrow) and a traditional samurai procession tracing a 2-km route through the neighborhood around Kameido Station and finishing at the shrine.
???? The parade features samurai in battle armor, archers, a brass band and other people in period dress. The procession stops at one point for a performance which includes a kendo (wooden sword fighting) demonstration.
???? The marchers are local residents and people from the local business association who are keen to promote Kameido, so all the participants will enthusiastically pose for photos.
???? The parade coincides with the Kameido Tenjin Wisteria Festival, so head here for more food and entertainment after the Kachiya Procession finishes.

Samurai Battle Festival - Battle of Sekigahara Festival
In the small town of Sekigahara a festival is put on to commemorate one of the most decisive battles in Japanese history - the Battle of Sekigahara. In 1600, two massive armies converge on Sekigahara and fought a great battle. The winner, Tokugawa Ieyasu went on to become shogun and started a new era known as the Edo Period named after his capital which is today Tokyo.
The main star at the festival is not either of the two opposing leaders suprisingly but Otani Yoshitsugu, a warlord suffering from leprosy who fought for the Western Army against Tokugawa. He's the tragic hero of the tale of Sekigahara. It's his forces which get attacked from the rear by a turncoat by the name Kobayakawa Hideaki.
Overall it's a small re-enactment for such a pivotal piece of history but they do a good job with the drama.
For a bit more background check out my Sekigahara beer talk:
