Gion Festival 2


Rey is dressed for the occasion.

Even the dog is in his festival outfit.

Rey waited years for this. the 1st time I give him icekachang from the roadside stalls.

Laying out the ingredients for okonomiyaki.



I own this road!

$4 for this water ball!!!

they call this yo yo ball.

I tried to dissuade him but in the end, he wanted to fish too. The fish died the next morning.

something like pinball

Rey concentrating hard on his game.

Aiyah! Just 1 ball to win...

Doing his crane stance "Ha!"

Geta at very good discount on the final day.

Final day for the parade, see how big the wheels are.

1 of the many hokos near our house.

People upstairs making the festival music.

Posing for the camera before departure on the final day.

See the ropes to pull the hoko? later, bamboos will be spread on the ground near the wheels to make the hoko turn direction.


4 days of festival and I'm dead tired. The roads outside the house were closed to traffic from 6 pm and Rey and I have been out looking at different hokos, eating and playing games at stalls.
