[Naginataboko/Gion Festival] First parade in the pre-festival

The Naginata Hoko Preservation Society in Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture 𓂃◌𓈒𓐍 𓂃◌𓈒𓐍𓂃◌𓈒𓐍𓂃 The order of the Naginata Hoko parade, which is called "kujitorirazu" and takes place in the pre-Gion Festival, has been decided since ancient times. The Naginata Hoko is the first to parade❣️ During the parade, a messenger of the gods called Iki-Wako and two assistants called Kamuro ride on the Hoko🎶 During the Yoiyama period, you can enter the inside of the Hoko, but only men can. Women can enter up to the second floor of the meeting hall. This time, I had a chance encounter while touring the Yamahoko. It's a fire drill 👩🚒🧯🚒 It's always held during the Gion Festival, and the location is the Naginata Hoko. I was able to see a rare scene ✨ Also, don't miss the large naginata, the head of the Naginata Hoko! It's said to ward off disease and evil. ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ ꕥFloor name: Naginata Hoko ꕥPreservation Society address: 26 Naginata Hoko-cho, Shimogyo-ku, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture ꕥAccess: 🚉 Karasuma Station → approx. 1 minute walk ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ #0 yen travel #Gion Festival #Gion Festival 2024 #Kyoto trip #Kyoto sightseeing
