HIGHLIGHTS
Event highlights
The purpose of the memorial and the return of the Genroku Market
The event takes place around Honjo Matsuzakacho Park, the site of the former Kira residence. Billed as the Gishi Festival and Kira Festival, it commemorates both sides: not only the Ako ronin but also the Kira family retainers. Stalls will also be set up, offering a chance to experience both the memorial and the market.
The organizers say the Genroku Market will resume in its traditional form, as it did last year. Complimentary amazake will also be served. The published information does not specify what the stalls will sell, how many there will be, or the times or conditions for serving amazake. If you have a particular stall or time in mind, check for further details before making plans.
