"Gion Matsuri and Japanese Festivals": Cerritos College (Los Angeles) Study Abroad in Kyōto, July 15, 2025

This might be the most gorgeous slideshow you ever see, informative as well about the Gion festival and Kyōto. Japanese festivals are above all presented as Shintō rituals. The Gion Matsuri began in 869 to ward off epidemics, but was ironically canceled during the recent pandemic. Longtime research and insider experiences in Japanese, with guidance by a Gion festival leader, culminate in fascinating information and annotated photos.

The unique Buddhist temple Otagi Nembutsuji (愛宕念仏寺) deep in a canyon in northwest Arashiyama in Kyōto has had a long and complicated history, but its distinctiveness today stems from the 20th Century when a head priest commissioned the carving of over a thousand stone rakan (羅漢, based on arhats, adept disciples of the Buddha). Each statue is unique, unlike the stereotype of Asians, and some are really funny. The moss in this shady side of the mountain also adds to their character, sometimes like hair.

Enjoy various scenes around Arashiyama, the area of Kyōto with the most nature and traditional Japanese architecture: 1) The legendary Moon-Crossing Bridge (渡月橋), 2) Yaezakura (八重桜), a late-blossoming type of sakura with many petals, 3) Traditional architecture deep in a mountain canyon, and 4) The little-known lookout over the river and gorgeous gorge.
