[Hakata Gion Yamakasa] Early morning running Yamakasa

Recommended points: Every year in early July, Hakata holds the Gion Yamakasa festival, dedicated to Kushida Shrine. Large decorated floats are set up in various places, such as Hakata, Nakasu, and Tenjin, and many people, from local residents to tourists, come to see them, enlivening the city of Fukuoka. In addition, during the Yamakasa period, there is an event where many men in loincloths carry a float that is about twice the size of the decorated float and is actually carried around the city, shouting out loud. Even though there was still little traffic early in the morning on this day, many people, from adults to children, came out to watch the great movement of the floats, and everyone seemed satisfied with the power of seeing it in person. The festival is held for a fairly long period of time, so you still have time to plan to participate in the festival! Please come. #FukuokaTourism #HakataGionYamakasa #Hakata #Festival #Mikoshi
