Kyoto Gion Festival


Hi everyone!!! Final blog is a famous festival!!! Maybe everyone may like festivals. I also like it, so I want to talk about Kyoto Gion Festival of Yasaka shrine. This is held every year in the middle of July. The highlight of the festival are the parade of decorated festive floats over 6-meters tall, playing music from their upper floors. They said that is" mobile art museum". Therefore, at the festival, you can buy your favorite food from a food stall, then enjoy it while walking around. Moreover, you can see lots of people wearing Japanese traditional clothes called "Yukata". Most of Japanese women have worn it more than once, I also have a my Yukata, and I have worn it more than five times. I have never been there, but I have wanted to visit there since I was child. If I have time, I am going to there this year after I get back to Japan. Thank you for reading final blog.

  1. Sometimes students wear a yukata to our graduation party. I guess they must only be used for very special events.
