Otome no Gion Matsuri (Girls’ Gion Festival) Goods in Store Now!

Once Gion Festival begins on July 1, Kyoto gets really bustled. The festival has more than a thousand years of history, feathering the two symbolic events called: YOIYAMA (the eve) and YAMABOKO JUNKO (the parade of decorated floats), both supported by all communities in the area. Why don’t you join and see how the girlish loveliness you bring colors the traditional event♪

Kyoto Karasuma Gojo Tourist Information Center (Yumeyakata), now offers the limited edition of “Otome no Gion Matsuri” goods until the end of July.

Under the theme of “tradition is cute”, Yumeyakata launched the “Otome no Gion Matsuri” project in order to convey the charm of Gion Festival. We capture the tradition with the viewpoints of girls, and produced various events and unique items which we are very proud of!
