What is Kyoto's Gion Matsuri?
The Gion Matsuri is a traditional event that colors Kyoto's summer. Among its highlights, the Yamaboko Junko (float procession), where magnificent yamaboko floats parade through the city, is the biggest attraction. The spectacle, like a moving museum, is well worth seeing. On the eve of the festival, "Yoiyama," the festive mood reaches its peak with yamaboko floats illuminated by lantern light and lively food stalls. To enjoy the Gion Matsuri even more, yukata rental is highly recommended. Walking in a yukata, which perfectly complements the traditional townscape, makes for excellent photos. It will make your Kyoto summer a special day to experience with all your senses.
Crowd Conditions during Kyoto's Gion Matsuri
Yoiyama and the Yamaboko Junko are extremely crowded. We recommend preparing and booking your yukata rental early.
Kyoto Gion Matsuri Traffic Regulations
During Yoiyama and the Yamaboko Junko, vehicle traffic is prohibited, and the areas become pedestrian-only, so we recommend using public transportation.
Food Stall Information for Kyoto's Gion Matsuri

Summary
