First Gion Matsuri in 2 Years - Kyoto's BEST Festival Returns

[@InakaAdventure]

I cant believe how long its been since Ive seen this Parade of the Yamaboko, even though Japan has been really cautious to open up, the festivals and life of Japan feels like its returning to what it once was, hope to see everyone traveling to Japan soon!

[@InakaAdventure]

Everyone listens to the festival music tunes

[@vladamirkalashnikov3704]

hope you are close to another video, it's been a little while. I miss the quirky taste of japan you bring.

[@InakaAdventure]

I have 2 that are almost finished but its been hard to go out and film due to the summer conditions here

[@Nature-Chill-Beats]

wow impressive festival.. amazing to see, thanks 😀

[@InakaAdventure]

Yeah its really cool!

[@NatalieMcLendon]

I love seeing the world with your channels!!🙏❤️😻🙏

[@InakaAdventure]

Thanks! Its so hot out here now thats its some times hard to spend a long time filming but looking at some fun summer videos

[@Saeshmedia]

Nice video. The Gion matsuri was great 😊👍🏻

[@InakaAdventure]

There are so many amazing festivals in Japan, ill put out a longer video about lots of different ones soon !

[@GoNorthJapan]

Great to see festivals being held. Have to say I'm more a fan of the livelier ones, personally. Can't wait for this year's winter festivals where we strip down to a fundoshi (in January), douse ourselves in ice water, and march up a mountain bearing torches before an all-out brawl for the bag of holy wood chips.

[@InakaAdventure]

I filmed two very active fire festivals in Omihachiman back in March and April, Sagicho and Hachiman Matsuri respectively. Im putting the video together but got a bit of writting block on those. Very exciting footage though!

Yayy I’m going to be in Kyoto from July 16 - 19. Hope I catch the festivities of this festival, especially the procession!! 🎉

[@InakaAdventure]

Make sure to stay hydrated, July heat can be a killer in Japan

[@gabyduchin]

@@InakaAdventure Will do 😁

[@jovetttong1778]

Around what time does the parade start

[@InakaAdventure]

Think it was around 10 or 11am, with another one in the afternoon.

[@JanyGoRound]

Hello, it is a very beautiful festival. I used to visit Kyoto once.

[@InakaAdventure]

[@flavorhostage]

Even though Kyoto isn't my favorite place, that was a great video (I'm not a fan of the crowds.)

[@InakaAdventure]

Yeah not a fan of hot, crowded places myself either, but had to see it again after all that time.

[@tiyoki1]

✌️😄

[@InakaAdventure]

cheers

Lots of respect to the participants and observers of the Gion Matsuri, it looked like the weather was a bit on the hot side that day. If I were there, I would've been arrested for behaving like it was the Hadaka Matsuri because of the weather.

[@InakaAdventure]

They had people going around handing out salt electrolyte candy and tea to participants, many of whom still were in masks, It was hot in the shade so I cant imagine the people pulling, good show from them

[@hellionstao4573]

When I was there it was raining!! The tapestries were covered in clear plastic.🥵

You should join Saidaiji Eyou.
