The Gion Festival is also known as the "Moving Art Museum". The Yamaboko that suddenly appears in the usual scenery Blend in with the cityscape of Kyoto Impression every year by the beauty of the decorations.

On the morning of the Gion Festival procession, The figure of the Yamaboko quietly waiting for its turn There and a little tension in the silence, It gave off an indescribable aura.

When the Gion Festival begins, Kyoto's Ume plum rain dawns and summer begins. The photo was taken by my wife in front of me. I aimed at the smartphone screen from behind and took a picture.

One of the Specialties of the Gion Festival. Dance of the umbrella halberd. The atmospheric appearance of a boy heading to the dance I only took a picture of the silhouette.

A bowl towering majestically at the venue of the Gion Festival. I've been seen by various people for a long time. A lot of drama is born When I think that it is filled with the thoughts of many people I felt very emotional.

Inside the venue of the Gion Festival The smoke from the stalls is illuminated by the lights, It creates a live feeling as if Yamaboko is standing on the stage It turned out to be a fantastic view.

Inside the venue of the Gion Festival Gari smoke from the stalls rises into the sky The smoke is illuminated by the lights. It was like Yamaboko was standing on the stage of Gion. Combined with the overflowing enthusiasm of people An indescribable live feeling is created The whole venue became a fantastic view.

The mikoshi ceremony is held on the evening of the yamaboko procession day of the Gion Festival. Three mikoshi and their bearers gather in front of the Yasaka Shrine gate. Even when shooting from a distance with a telephoto lens, I could feel the enthusiasm of the bearers and the audience.

The Gion Festival procession in Kyoto. The 38-degree temperature, the crowds, the sweaty men, the photographer who doesn't miss a single moment. It was a hot festival in many ways.

Gion Festival where the blue sky suits you The beauty of the halberd shines when it is held in the blue sky in the hot midsummer yamaboko procession.

Feel the history The decorations around the yamaboko of the Kyoto Gion Festival are called "folding screens" and it is a splendid decoration that reflects the history of being a national treasure even if you look at any hoko ornament.

The Gion Festival after dark. I'm sure I'm not the only one who was relieved to see so many people gathering in one place and that the coronavirus has finally ended. It was one that was able to capture the original Japanese festival.

Gion Festival and people who flow like water. About 100,000 people visit from all over the country every year. I took a picture of such a large number of people flowing.

The moment when the Gion Festival is illuminated by the setting sun in the scorching heat. I learned a lot from my first Gion Festival. Next time, I would like to learn more about the historical background!

The city of Gion illuminated by the setting sun was beautiful. I went to the Gion Festival in Kyoto for the first time, but it was too interesting, so please go there!

Kyoto Gion Festival in extreme heat Filmed a child getting on a long sword halberd. Since children cannot put their feet on the ground after receiving an exorcism, it seems that there is a custom for adults to ride on their shoulders to the halberd.

Was in Sapporo over the weekend for an errand and had enough time to stop by a few places before having to leave. Took a walk through Nakajima Park early in the morning and saw a turtle and a heron relaxing by one of the ponds. There were also a bunch of ducks enjoying breakfast in the grass nearby. Also managed to stop by Hokkaido Shrine and and the Sapporo Beer Museum, both of which were very cool. I really liked the architecture of Hokkaido Shrine, and it was fun reading the signs to read about the different emperors that had visited the shrine and in what year. The beer museum was fun as well. Learning about all the history was really cool, and seeing the different advertisements used throughout the years was pretty neat as well. Ended up buying matching cups and I got a shirt as well. Hokkaido Shrine and the Sapporo Beer Museum are definitely two of the best spots to visit in Sapporo if you ask me. I would have liked to visit Shiroi Koibito Park as well, but they were already closed by the time we were able to visit, so I guess that’ll have to wait for next time. Was a great time overall.
