Information edited by: Sakatsu Gallery YouTube: "Enjoy the Gion Festival's Yoiyama at a leisurely pace at the Hoko-machi community hall" (Video produced by Sakatsu Gallery) July is the most vibrant season in Kyoto. I especially recommend taking a nighttime tour of the Hoko-machi district. Come get a close-up look at the preparations for the Gion Festival and the practice sessions for the "Konchikichin" festival music, and experience the Gion Festival with your own eyes and ears. During the three days of Yoiyama, Yoiyoiyama, and Yoiyoiyoiyama, the Gion Festival takes on a quiet atmosphere different from that of the daytime-it's a time to truly experience the essence of Kyoto. Unlike the festival floats on the main street, where lanterns are lit at dusk, this offers a glimpse into the everyday life of Kyoto. We recommend touring the neighborhood community centers in Hoko-cho. This is your chance to become part of the community by climbing aboard the festival floats in each neighborhood, visiting merchants' homes where family heirlooms are on display, and shopping for lucky charms like chimaki and limited-edition items from famous confectionery shops. Come experience a Gion Festival unlike any other and create memories of a summer in Kyoto unlike any other. "Nostalgia for Kyoto" (Work)
