Gion Matsuri Festival in Kyoto Station

Gion Matsuri Festival started, and Kyoto Station is also decorated with Matsuri Lanterns.

32 Yamahoko Float miniatures are displayed on the 2nd floor of Kyoto Station, until July 16th.

These miniature floats are very precisely made and beautiful!

This is "Hosho Yama" float which is the only one I failed to see last year.

This is the leading float "Naginata Hoko."

This is a very popular "Tourou Yama" float which has a huge moving praying mantis figure.

Designs of tenugui towels change every year, and they are usually sold out very quickly.

Jyoumyou Yama Float is also perfectly miniaturized.

Many Yamahoko goods are displayed too.

I personally like "Tsuki Hoko" float design.
