	Kyoto - Jidai Matsuri - Should I buy tickets? Help! - FlyerTalk Forums
		I haven't been in Kyoto in October, so have never seen their Jidai Matsuri, but I have seen the less well known Tokyo Jidai Matsuri held in Asakusa in early November.
		I hope you have all of your accommodations already reserved as Kyoto will be jammed during the Matsuri period and it is ulikely there will be any rooms available for "walk-ins." Have a great time and don't miss the OTHER sites and attractions of Kyoto, one of my favorite cities.
		Just a few notes whilst this is fresh in my memory - My parents and I went to Kyoto's Jidai Matsuri (Festival of the Ages) and the Kurama Hi Matsuri (Kurama Fire Festival) on October 22.
