I want to know about the Zuki
Festival. (duration, location, content, access)

This festival is the first of Kyoto's autumn festivals. It is said that the festival began in the Heian period (794-1185) when a wooden statue of Sugawara Michizane, the god of the festival, was carved by himself in Dazaifu, Kyushu, and brought back to Kyoto by the Shinto priests of Nishinokyo to worship and to offer autumn harvests to. The roofs of the two portable shrines, one large and one small, are all made of “zuki” (taro stems) and can be seen at the Nishinokyo Goyosho (Nishinokyo Mikoshi Okamachi, Nakagyo-ku, Tokyo) during the festival (1st - 4th). When the portable shrine parades through Kami Shichiken, a flower street in the town in front of the gate, Geisha and Maiko can also be seen viewing the parade.
