新選組の歴史に縁のある日野市で行われる「ひの新選組祭り」
こちらの動画は「日野市 観光Hino city , Tokyo」が公開した「Hino Shinsengumi Festival - A celebration of Japan's last samurai ひの新選組まつり・外国人パレード隊<3分版>」です。
日本の歴史で新選組は幅広い層に支持されており、大河歴史ドラマでも近藤勇や沖田総司などの幕末の志士たちが活躍するシーンがいくつもご覧になれます。
その新選組の一員である土方歳三が生まれたのがこの日本の東京都日野市で、近藤や沖田が剣術を学んだ道場もこの日野市にあったとされています。
新選組と日野市の関わりとは
新選組とは江戸時代末期に活躍した武装組織であり、警備隊のように活躍をした日本の歴史上で有名な組織です。
その組織で副長を努めた土方歳三はここ日野で生まれたことより、日野市では新選組に関する町おこしを行っていました。
東京都日野市は都心から電車で30分ほどの場所で、豊かな自然に囲まれ、新選組ゆかりの名所やスポットが多く点在しています。
「ひの新選組祭り」の内容とは
東京都日野市で行われる「ひの新選組まつり」は20年以上の歴史があり、毎年5月中旬に開催されます。
動画の0:29から紹介されている新選組隊士パレードが「ひの新選組祭り」のメインイベントになり、当日は多くの観光客が訪れます。
また前日には、隊士コンテストが行われます。
こちらは新選組の各隊長を目指して演技を行うコンテストです。
隊長ともなれば、乗馬をして行列に参加することができるので、ぜひ隊長を目指してみてはいかがでしょうか。
「ひの新選組祭り」を楽しむ!
「ひの新選組祭り」に合わせて歴史体験アクティビティ「新選組チャンバラ合戦」というイベントも行われています。
こちらは子供も参加でき、衣装につけたボールをチャンバラで切り合うゲームを楽しめます。
会場は日本で150年の歴史がある日野宿で子どもたちの学び舎となってきた場所です。
日野八坂神社では時期に合わせて多くの種類の御朱印が用意されており、「ひの新選組まつり」の際にはイベント限定の御朱印をいただくことができるので、ぜひ手に入れてみたいですね!
「ひの新選組祭り」の当日にはさまざまなイベントが催されていますが、「ひの新選組祭り」の当日は非常に混雑が予想されます
「ひの新選組祭り」紹介まとめ
東京都の中で少し地味な印象のある日野市ですが、新選組縁の地として国内外から多くの観光客が訪れています。
日本の歴史に触れられる日野市のイベント「ひの新選組祭り」で新選組への思いをはせてみてはいかがでしょうか。
