Gion Matsuri Festival

Gion Matsuri Festival

The Gion Matsuri, one of the three most famous festivals in Japan, is a major event that graces Kyoto in the summer! Starting on 1st July, various festivities take place over the course of a month, and the city of Kyoto is wrapped in the Gion Matsuri mood and atmosphere.
The festival is said to have started more than 1,000 years ago when a plague broke out in the capital to rid the city of the plague. The Yamahoko (decorated floats) event, one of the highlights of the Gion Festival, is registered as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage.

Stay at Rinn Premium Kyomachiya and enjoy Kyoto's largest "Gion Matsuri" festival.

We have already had a large number of reservations for July! We also accept direct reservations, so please contact us for more information!
