Narita Gion Festival is an important traditional matsuri (festival) taking place not too far from Narita Airport.
What happens?
Gion festivals take place all over Japan, the most well-known being the one held in Kyoto throughout July. But this one in Chiba Prefecture also has a long 300-year history and lasts for an impressive three days. Floats decorated with intricate carvings and a mikoshi (portable shrine) parade will take place around the area surrounding Narita Station. Of course, there will also be plenty of stalls and snacks to be had.
Organizers may cancel events, alter schedules, or change admission requirements without notice. Always check official sites before heading to an event.Add to Calendar
