Please tell me how to enjoy the Gion Festival.

When building yama and hoko, they are built without using nails. It would be fun to see the work and participate in the Hikizome, which is open to the general public.
Also, during the Yoiyama period, you can see the Hoko and Yama up close. There is also a Yamaboko that you can board.
On the day of the parade (7/17.24), you can enjoy the gorgeous decorations of the Yamaboko and the “Tsuji-mawashi” that turns the corners.
On the night of the parade, a mikoshi (portable shrine) is carried from Yasaka Shrine to the Otabisho.
Please refer to the following page for the detailed schedule.
