July 24th was the day that three "Mikoshi (portable shrine for gods)" return to Yasaka Shrine, after gods watched over the Gion Matsuri festivities for a week in their temporary home called Otabisho near Teramachi.
After I finished my work around 6PM, I was walking towards the intersection of Shijo and Nihino-Toin, and saw that Kanko-Sai parade was just being conducted. How lucky I was!
I thoroughly enjoyed Gion Matsuri of this year!
