Are you planning to attend Gion Matsuri 2024? This blog helps you prepare for this epic experience. Part 1 of this blog is helpful too.

With Gion Matsuri 2024, the festival has taken place more than a thousand times since its origin in the year 869. Surely this is an outstanding case study for sustainability, of tremendous interest in these times of an uncertain future. My decades of fieldwork at Gion Matsuri inspire me to want it to help it to continue for another millennium.
