Having a long history of 780 years, Hakata Gion Yamakasa is a traditional festival in Hakata which is usually celebrated from 1st to 15th July. In order to prevent the spread of Covid-19, it was announced that related events of Kakiyama will be postponed until next summer. However, this year, 12 Kazariyama floats (excluding Chiyo Nagare and Nakasu Nagare) will be set up at 12 different places in Fukuoka City to liven up the streets. It has been 2 years since the last exhibit of Kazariyama floats! Do check the photo report to see the gorgeous Kazariyama made by Hakata craftsmen♪
