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 floats parade through the city is the biggest attraction. The spectacle, like a moving museum, is well worth seeing. On the eve of the procession, known as 'Yoiyama', the illuminated floats and lively food stalls create a festive atmosphere that reaches its peak. To enjoy the Gion Matsuri even more, we recommend yukata rental. Walking through the traditional streets in a yukata makes for excellent photo opportunities. It will turn your Kyoto summer into a special day to experience with all five senses.
