Kyoto Yokai Parade 2024 Dates. The festival began in 1895 as a way to celebrate kyoto's glorious past. I'm planning a new trip to japan in maybe a couple years and want to see a yokai parade.

The best places to view the parade are the imperial palace (in the morning) and heian shrine (around 2 p.m.), but get there early:. Kyoto becomes city of yokai, with night parade of one hundred demons festival this autumn.
