Gion Festival 2022: Green Light! Taka Yama Restoration a Highlight

Several colorful Gion Festival floats are pulled down a central Kyoto street.

Kyoto’s Gion Festival 2022 returns in July! The Gion Festival Floats Association has named that it would like the festival to happen “in as close to its usual form as possible.” But there will of course be safety measures to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. So what this year’s festival will be like still remains somewhat fluid.
