Kyoto "Gion Festival" 2022 "Ato Matsuri Yoiyama"

Night in Kyoto. The floats of the Gion Festival, which has a tradition of over 1,100 years, are lit with komagata lanterns, and some floats play Gion bayashi. It is said that each float has its own legend, story, and blessing. This is the 2022 "Ato Matsuri Yoiyama". As I walked towards the lit area without knowing anything about the Gion Festival, the floats were displayed in each region, and I was able to see the sacred dolls up close. The decorations and ornaments of each float can be seen up close to see their delicacy and the splendor of tradition. Many people were fascinated by the appearance of the floats, and took pictures of the appearance and stories of the sacred dolls. The floats are not displayed in one place, so I think it will be a sightseeing tour that involves going around. "From Karasuma Oike Station to the west side of Shijo and Karasuma Station" It seems that almost all of the Yamahoko are set up between "Anekoji-dori and Ayanokoji-dori." It's a good plan to enjoy without wandering around, but I recommend you check the locations on the website or in the pamphlet and see many of the Yamahoko. The 2023 "Ato Matsuri Yoiyama" will be from July 21st (Friday) to 23rd (Sunday). #Kyoto #KyotoTrip #KyotoTourism #GionFestival #777 #Yamahoko #Karasuma #Shijo #KarasumaOike #KyotoTourism
