Gion Matsuri in HD - Yasaka Shrine Events

Throughout the popular Gion Festival period in July there are various rituals and forms of entertainment put on all over Kyoto for those who came to see the festival to enjoy and participate in. Folk dances performed by local children, action-packed kagura plays, dynamic drum concerts, and graceful dances by apprentice geisha are only a few of the many performances on stage and in the streets throughout the month. For those who want to watch or participate there are colorful parades and a summer purification ritual as well. Our team stopped by the Omukae Chōchin ritual, the Hanagasa Junkō parade, the Kankōsai portable shrine journey, and the Eki Jinja purification ritual in order to capture the sights and sounds of this famous festival month. Come along with us and get a taste of what the Gion Festival has to offer beyond its more famous float procession!

[@cheezyridr]

so much beauty all in one place... if i could experience that in person, i might find it almost overwhelming. i don't think i'll ever have the chance to go to japan, but if i ever could, this is the sort of things i would go there to see.

You forgot to mention the origin of the festival. 祇園祭 (Middle of July ) The Gion Festival began in the prayer that any pestilence might not occur among the nation. This was the same as the Israeli king Solomon who began festival (in the 7th month (15th day), feast of tabernacles) in Jerusalem just after the completion of the Holy Temple construction, with his prayer that any pestilence might not occur among the nation. Kyoto used to be called *平安京* (Heian-kyo) 平安 means peace. 京 is capital which is where *Kyoto* comes from, It was the capital of japan for a very long time. Jerusalem also which means city of peace in Hebrew, and Jerusalem is also the capitol of israel. Yasaka came from the Hebrew-Aramaic word Yah-sakka, meaning faith in God.

love geiko

[@albertlopez6620]

Cuando quieras ofrecerles un color a los ejipcios ponerlo debajo del dragón Una de las esfinges torre granjas en sus laterales pero si. Identificar el color !

[@usolee]

Another great video. I'm also a fan of Kyoto and I'm making my way around town to as many koyo spots as possible. Are you also planning to make some sort of Koyo video this year?

[@KyotoFan]

Usolee, thank you for the comment. Actually..........we are working on one right now. Watch this space:) Can't wait to share it with you guys.

[@usolee]

Kyoto Fan Awwww yia. I'm looking forward to it! We may even run into each other

[@albertlopez6620]

Creo que mirando por zonas de Japón se puede valorar aspectos de su kabuki Tienen unos diseños propuso en cada zona de Japón !! Gion es super fuerte en ese tema ya veré si especialidad pero es super !!

[@doseimoon1003]

This is very nice!

[@albertlopez6620]

Ese salto que dan los monges coincide con la chicas de at Home café !! Ellas tienen eso es el mismo ritual lo acen cuando te dan el sorb te de fresa

[@yashirootonashi8730]

So pretty.

[@КлавдияДьяченко-ч6в]

It's amazing !

[@KyotoFan]

Thank you Clavdia :)

[@КлавдияДьяченко-ч6в]

Kyoto Fan Seriously, Shinto rituals are amazing.

[@albertlopez6620]

En muchos japoneses con sus trabajos de movimientos coordinados tienen ichibei Furukawa eso es para que corrijan y den el mismo tratamiento a ichibei o al resto de fundadores de empresa que ha Mitsubishi Furukawa es un igualador y Mitsubishi el nivel !!

[@albertlopez6620]

En Japón lo que cuelga debajo la cabeza de tragón hace que la combinación ralla blanca y ralla azul sea más que marinero sea de los ejipcios Ese dragón sirbe para atribuir y cambiar el sentido y la propiedad de los colores ! Ara blanco y azul es ejipcio no marinero Ese dragón es un cambiador de propiedad de los opgetos y colores

[@hunnybean269]

Amazing video!!! Funny thi I used to think most of those rituals were Chinese

[@hiroanseon1825]

nice video ^^

[@1113kunihiko]

good 1113kunihiko

[@albertlopez6620]

El símbolo que muchas empresas de japon tienen relación con la producción de cámaras y pantallas para ver gehisas o Maikos y temas del kabuki es por qué las empresas están vivas y se merecen todas un tratamiento espiritual Todas las empresas están relacionadas con el tema tecnología de visión y sonido todas merecen tratamiento espiritual si todavía no lo tienen

[@albertlopez6620]

Puedes ver la vida no contada de su pueblo con los trages tipicos de cada región de Japón !! Por ejemplo si un líder o zona japonesa de hace siglos tenía comercio con india , singapur , Korea , Malasia , china

[@morirobot3]

According to people studying the relationship between ancient Israel and Japanese traditional culture, GION is said to be a change in ZION. GION is a part of Kyoto. The city of Kyoto was built by the HATA family, who was naturalized from ancient China to Japan. Researchers say the roots of the HATA family are in ancient Israel. The HATA family who built Kyoto was not Jewish but converted to Nestorianism. Of course, their ancestors would have believed in Judaism. Therefore, traces can still be seen in various cultures in Kyoto.

Esos niños tienen budismo y reno de la tundra por esos adornos del pelo .. Budismo griego ruso griego por las estatuas de de Marcos y ruso por su barbilla y muñecas rusas por eso el adorno le da reno y reno en España es un restaurante blanco

[@jsimsc80]

Beautiful!! I hope I can go to kyoto on my next travel, thanks for the video!! Oh would like to ask, to watch the apprentice Geisha performance, would we have to be there to queue very early?

[@楊惠菱-s8b]

Who else watching after JLPT N5 Lesson 12?

[@pspawnslayer]

Ieyasu died in 1616 so the dance must have been to welcome the 3rd Shogun Iemitsu.

[@Oshidorinohina]

Kyoto was the old capital. So it would make sense.
