Shinko Festival Mikoshi Togyo 



 山鉾巡行を観て、祇園祭を観たことにはならない。祭りの主役は神輿です。

祇園祭の本来の神事は「祈り」。即ち「神輿渡御(みこしとぎょ)」です。

7月17日は神幸祭、24日は還幸祭。中御座、東御座、西御座の3基の神輿が渡御します。

17日の山鉾巡行が行われた後の夕刻、八坂神社で出発の儀が執り行われます。

As the Osaka-Kansai Expo 2025 approaches, neighboring Kyoto is buzzing with anticipation, preparing to leverage its rich cultural heritage and timeless beauty in support of this momentous event. The city eagerly awaits the economic benefits that will ripple through various industries, recognizing its pivotal role in the Expo's success.
As a photographer, I am dedicated to capturing Kyoto's vibrant spirit and unique charm during this historic period. Through my lens, I aim to document not just the city's scenic beauty, but also its dynamic energy as it engages with the global spotlight of the Expo, contributing to both its immediate impact and enduring legacy.
Kyoto continues to evolve as a premier destination, with endless possibilities in tourism development, luxury market expansion, and innovative branding strategies.
