Yabusame Rituals – May 2025

As the season of vibrant greenery unfolds, we are delighted to announce two major Yabusame rituals this May:

on May 3rd at Shimogamo Shrine, and on May 17th at Nikko Toshogu Shrine.

At Kyoto’s Shimogamo Shrine, surrounded by ancient trees, witness a rare and graceful Yabusame performance in elegant court attire.

At Nikko Toshogu Shrine, amidst a lush, sacred forest, experience the dynamic spirit of brave samurai as they perform Yabusame.

If you are nearby, we warmly invite you to join us and celebrate these beautiful traditions in the heart of nature.
