The Gion Festival was held in 869 (Joukan 11) in the early Heian period,
It is said to have started as a way to quell an epidemic that broke out in Kyoto,

The sight of these gorgeous floats moving slowly through the streets of Kyoto is often referred to as a "moving museum,
Visitors can enjoy the best of traditional crafts such as weaving, carving, and metalwork up close.
For adult women, I recommend strolling around Yoiyama at night.
The town of Yamahoko-cho, lit by lanterns, is enveloped in a fantastic atmosphere,
Strolling around in a yukata is like a scene from a movie.
Limited-edition items such as chimakis (doughnuts wrapped in bamboo dumplings) and tenugui (hand towels) given at each Yamahoko-cho also make great souvenirs.
The second festival is especially recommended for those who want to view the festival in a more relaxed atmosphere, as the crowds are calmer.
A little further on, stop by "Kameda Risaburo Yakuho" (Kameda Risaburo Pharmacy),
Reset with curative tea filled with the wisdom of Wakan (Japanese and Chinese) and natural skin care.
The Gion Festival is not just a "summer festival," but a unique Kyoto festival that concentrates culture, tradition, and aesthetics.
There is dignity amidst the hustle and bustle, and a sense of enjoyment that comes with age.
We invite you to spend your summer in Kyoto, feeling the history, art, and seasonal breezes in your own way.
