Gion Festival

Please enjoy photos...

Can you believe these floats were handmade and they are pulled only by men?
The wooden-made floats weigh around 1 t on average...
Good job guys!

Thanks for the comment!
You should definitely see Gion Matsuri. The floats are so supectacular you'll never get tired of! I've been there several times, but everytime I'm there I can't stop but being excited!
