Ako gishi procession organized by Seikai Nisei Gakuin
The Mayor of Central will also greet you.
This year's "December 14" will also begin festivals of Ako Yoshishi in various places.
From Chuo-ku Office to Takanawa Sengakuji, there is an event where people dressed as Ako Gishi parade, so we will introduce it.
The photo shows when I left the Chuo-ku Office last year.
Mayor Maenaka Yata also participated in the middle.
This year, Mayor Yamamoto is coming to greet you.

It’s actually different from the pull-out route!
As a matter of fact, it is different from the withdrawal route that Ako Yoshishi actually walked, but there may be current road conditions etc.
I would like you to give priority to the participants to safely reach Takanawa Sengakuji.
But forty-seven men! It's very nice! (Last year, some major roads were closed.)
Especially for tourists from overseas, such as Europe and the United States, there is no doubt that it will be a great impact!
It may also be influenced by the movie "47ronin" (2013 production and director Karl Linshu, starring Keanu Reeves), which is based on the Akaho incident.
It's hard to see the whole journey, but you can enjoy it from departure to Kabukiza!
For more information, please see the official Twitter page.
It's not enough to see it! Who is
Volunteers are being recruited to organize the venue at the precincts of Takanawa Sengakuji Temple.
Would you like to welcome the forty-seven men who have fulfilled your honour?
