HAKATA GION YAMASAKA

This impressive festival takes place over two weeks. Festivities and events are organized every day in the streets of the city center. The program includes processions in costume, traditional races of wooden floats carried by dozens of people, decoration of floats, etc. This is one of our favorite festivals, in the heart of one of the largest cities in the country. The passion of the locals for these festivities is so great that some companies let their employees take a day off to enjoy the festival.
