  • Nice video.

  • Great video. Did you see it again this year?

  • I'm looking forward to it tomorrow!

  • Wonderful video. Turning these floats, some of which are 600 years old and weigh many tons, takes grease, banana leaves, and lots of manpower. The Gion procession, which culminates the four day festival, takes about 2 1/2 hours and has been held every July 17th since 869.
