Previous | Next

This is the first time that that "Hakata Gion Yamakasa" has been held since becoming a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage! As such, it has been getting even more attention than usual! Our photo report focuses on the impressive "kazari-yama" (decorative floats), which will be on display at 14 locations around Fukuoka from 1st to 15th July, as well as the "kaki-yama" (floats used for the race), which get carried around the city streets during "Oiyama," the climax of the festival.
