After long covid years, Gion Matsuri festival came back as full size festival! On 10th July they started to build many big floats on the festival street.
I went there almost everyday, so I took pictures of making of floats. Highest float is about 27m tall, so big. They makes this float without nails. They use just ropes. You could see how to make it.
