It provides visitors to Japan with a realistic and powerful demonstration of yabusame, an ancient Japanese mounted archery which has been handed down as a Shinto ritual, by the inheritors of the Ogasawara-ryu, who were the instructors of the shoguns of Japan for 850 years, from Minamoto Yoritomo to Tokugawa Yoshinobu.
This event will run alongside the Nihonbashi Bettara-ichi festival that will be held in Nihonbashi-honmachi and Nihonbashi-odenmacho, where it is the birthplace of Nihonbashi (the first location of the Edo-machi ward division) and the old Nikko Kaido road runs through.
