Festival of Kamo (Aoi Festival) of Kamo Shrine of the Japan’s three biggest festival held by Imperial ordinance, the Kasuga festival of Kasuga Taisha Shrine are high in recognition nationwide, but it is the characteristic of this special event that there are few people who know it even if I live in Kyoto. This festival that it is no wonder begins at late-night 2:00, and the visitor extremely in comparison with two of the remainder decreases, too. (I call it “a strange festival” from it without permission, and there, please forgive “the strange festival” because it is actually a festival held by Imperial ordinance though I hit it rudely)

I saw the figure of the person considered to have come for a trip from the foreign countries in the visitor this time. It is a waste of にも without being concerned that a person living in Kyoto does not know the charm of this festival.

This festival was very fantastic and was worth seeing it even if I stayed up late from Wednesday.
