☆ Gion Matsuri (Gion Festival) ☆
 
This festival is one of the Three Major Festivals in Japan, which takes place at Yasaka Shrine.
 
It is a long festival and held over a month from July 1st to July 31st.
 
One whole month!
 
It is a festival that originally started to wish to get rid of evil spirits that brings disease,
 
This festival is famous for the decorated “ship” called “Yamaboko”,
 
that would be paraded by many people.
 
This festival usually attract so many people who want to witness this moments by their own eyes.
 
Gion Festival is also known for being registered as a UNESCO intangible cultural property in 2009.
 
☆ Gion Shrine’s Kagura ☆ It will be held on July 14 every year
 
(Kagura = Ancient Shinto music and dancing)
 
Next, would like to recommend a festival in Kyoto, called Gion Shrine’s Kagura.
 
“Gion Shrine’s Kagura” is held as an annual festival of Yasaka Shrine in Miyama-cho, Nantan City.
 
It is held as a performing arts festival in which people dressed in masks such as Tengu, Oni, Hyokko, etc.
 
They would perform three songs of “Kagura”, “Sangiri”, and “Nigimakura”.
 
This festival is performed as a wish so that crops are abundant.
 
Before the performance is started, the process of makeup and change of costumes is also open for public to attract more attention.
 
☆ Kameoka Fireworks Festival ☆ Scheduled on Sunday, August 11, 2019 19:30~
 
The super big star firework will appear in the final stage!
