Odawara Hojo Godai Matsuri 2010

I know it s old, and maybe you already seen this video, but it s time to plan things to do in May.. and this is really a Matsuri you must see  in your life time.. So, since this month Japan blog matsuri is about Events, I think it s a good opportunity to remind you about this matsuri!

it’s a very cool Matsuri  held in Odawara, near Tokyo on the way to Hakone, where thousand of people with Samurai armors make a reconstitution of the great period of Odawara..

Samurai, horse, ninja, soldiers,… A place to visit in the very beginning of May to go back to the past.

Here is a tiny selection of picture made in Odawara Hojo Godai Matsuri 2010..

Check this video to see the Samurai parade and do not hesitate to search for “odawara” on this site to see more about this nice little city!

Theme: “Famous Japanese Events”

In this edition of the Matsuri tell us about a famous Japanese event, or more simplistically, a current or historical “notable occurrence related to Japan”. The possibilities are endless. It could be a current event, a recreational event, an historical event, a religious event, a sporting event, a cultural event, an entertainment event, a political event, a social event. The list could go on. The event does not necessarily have to occur in Japan but it must be related to Japan.

I have a lot more picture of Samurai, but if I post everything you will pass the day to scroll down the page ^^
