The 19th Lord Horio Yoshiharu and Matsue Warrior...
The 19th Lord Horio Yoshiharu & Matsue Warrior Procession (Matsue Musha Gyoretsu) is a major historical reenactment scheduled for Saturday, April 4, 2026. While the primary event takes place in Matsue City (Shimane Prefecture), it is closely associated with the surrounding San'in region, including Sakaiminato in Tottori.
This annual pageant re-enacts the grand entry of Lord Horio Yoshiharu, the founder of Matsue, and his son Lord Tadauji into the newly built Matsue Castle over 400 years ago.
While the parade itself is held in Matsue, certain event-related activities or promotional "stamp rallies" may include venues in Sakaiminato, such as the Eshima Ohashi Bridge area. Sakaiminato serves as a gateway for many visitors traveling to the San'in region to witness this festival.
