Matsuri
I took these pictures in Gion Kyoto Japan during Gion Matsuri (festival). They don't allow cars enter the area during the previous night (Yoi-Yama). Million of people gather in Gion area during Yoi-Yama. Do not miss understand, Gion is not as big as whole town. It's just part of the ward, Higasiyama-ku Kyoto. It's crazily cloud. And guys have to move Yamas (in the pictures) around Gion on the last day of Matsuri.

Must be one heck of a good time. Wonderful that you get to experience all this.
Wowo, I've been to this place but not during the festival. It's very nice. I loved the whole of Kyoto though.
