@konnicheewah: See them now in Kyoto: The amazing Gion Matsuri floats! … If you’re in Kyoto right now, don’t miss Yoiyama, the magical lead-up to the world-famous Gion Matsuri. From July 14–16, between 6pm and 11pm, the city’s giant festival floats are parked across downtown Kyoto – lit by lanterns and put on full display. … It’s actually the best time to admire them up close, more so than during the busy procession on July 17! You can step inside some floats, make your own festival-exclusive goshuin stamps, and shop for unique souvenirs. … The vibrant energy, joyous atmosphere, rich history and awe-inspiring setting make the three-day Yoiyama one of Kyoto’s best summer nights. … 🚈 Get off at Karasuma Station and walk around the surrounding streets. ‼️ Pay attention to the alleyways, where you’ll find more floats, some of which have less crowds.
