A traditional event held annually in the park in Shinjuku “Yabusame” (Horseback archery)

“Takadanobaba Yabusame” started in 1728 when the eighth Shogun Yoshimune TOKUGAWA wishes to recover the disease of the successor.
This event was suspended since the Meiji era, but it was resumed in 1964 and now it has been designated as an Intangible Folk Cultural Property by Shinjuku.
The archer gets on a running horse and shoots arrows towards three targets.
