What to expect

This is a walking tour that takes you from Karasuma Oike Station to explore many of the Yamaboko floats around the Karasuma Station area. Each float has its own unique history and story, which will be explained by guides who speak English and Chinese. The highlight of the tour is the opportunity to board the Tsukihoko float. You will enter the storage building, go up to the second floor, and then cross a bridge to reach the Tsukihoko, which stands about 10 meters above the ground. Tsukihoko is the tallest float among all the Yamaboko in the Gion Festival.
