Yorii Kitajo Festival

The "Yorii Kitajo Matsuri" is a re-enactment of the battle in which the local warlord Hōjō-kuni, who took up positions at Potgata Castle during Toyotomi Hideyoshi's attack on Odawara in 1590, continued the battle for a month or so with only 3500 troops against 50,000 Toyotomi Festivals. On the day, about 500 warriors will parade through the city, and a battle will be held in the Tamadogawara. You can enjoy the Sengoku Emaki, which can be seen up close, such as the sound of a single combat and a cannon echoing through the venue. In addition, the "Kitajo Shokoku no Kachi", where a large number of gourmets gather from the land related to the Kitajo clan, will also be held. Image courtesy of Yorii Town
