The Gion Matsuri


The Gion Matsuri is one of the three largest local festivals in Japan. Matsuri means festival. The other two are the Kanda Matsuri in Tokyo and Tenjin Matsuri in Osaka.

The Gion is a district in Kyoto, Japan called Gion. The Gion Matsuri takes place annually in Kyoto on July. The Gion Matsuri is held by Yasaka-jinja Shrine.

This festival is fun, but there are so many people.  Then, some people(especially of a woman) are in Kimono. Kimono is japanese traditional clothes. If you want to wear a Kimono, you can rent.
