Kyoto,we have one of the biggest festivals,GION MATSURI in July.
You can see about 32 wooden floats on the streets in the central of kyoto.
These are the pictures i took July 16 in evening.
This name is MOON float.
The boys are parading on the main street.
I enjoyed taking a walk in late evening after the classes.
It is very excited and nice tradition.
The next morning July 17 is the parade's day.
It is beautiful sunny day!
A lot of men are working hardly to move the floats with their hands.
