FY 2024 Japan Cultural Expo 2.0 Project (by commission)
Yabusame at Kamakura Ground 2024, 2nd Edition
Monday, September 23, 2024
Canceled in case of heavy rain
Gate opens at 9:00 am
We will hold a yabusame event in Kamakura on Monday, September 23, 2024. Yabusame, part of Japan’s traditional culture, is a practice in which archers shoot through targets from atop galloping horses, all while praying for universal peace, a rich harvest, and people’s health.
In the upcoming event, archers will wish for world peace, people’s happiness, and the continuation of traditional culture as they aim at the targets. Consecutive English interpretation will be provided for the live commentary, and English-language materials will be handed out. We invite you to come and witness the power of the horses and mettle of the archers at close range; front-row seats are just three meters from the horse track.
Additionally, the event will feature exhibits and experiences of various aspects of Kamakura culture, including Noh theater, Kamakura-bori lacquerware, tea-drinking culture originating in Kamakura (tea will be served), food culture of the Kamakura period, and children’s archery experience. After the yabusame, visitors will have the opportunity to feed the horses that performed in the yabusame and interact with the archers, while children will also get a chance to go on hand-led horse rides.
We look forward to welcoming you to the event.
