Bright color lanterns, music in the air, dancing in the street, and food vendors on every corner: it points to festival time. Gion Festival stretches for the month of July, climaxing with a parade of 32 floats that can measure up to 25 feet tall, weighting 12 tons. It is easily consider the largest and best festival in Japan. It is a great cultural experience to see people wearing traditional yukata, listening to folk music, and sampling the variety of food.
Held throughout the month of July, the Kyoto Gion Festival is by far Japan's most famous festival. Drawing in hundreds of thousands of international & domestic tourists to the Kyoto Gion Geisha District, marvel at the decorative floats and gorgeous Geisha gracing the streets of Kyoto.
While temperatures can heat up a bit, wearing a yukata and exploring a Japanese festival is a must during Japan's summer. Summer festivals are famous for festival games like gold-fish scooping, and are lined with lively yatai food booths featuring snacks like yakisoba or takoyaki.
