Jidai Matsuri Festival, one of the three renowned festivals of Kyoto


I found a police car on a bridge when I went to work. No, no, I didn't find something danger. I found parades of a big festival, and this police car was supposed to stop the traffic for normal cars.


Because the parades were very long and gorgeous! The Jidai Matsuri Festival(時代祭, じだいまつり) is one of the renowned festivals of Kyoto.  


And it was really crowded. It looked very hard to go to the front row. But, the festival was still worth seeing from the back of the row.


On the seat for broadcast for a local channel, they were talking with a geisha girl. It was one of the good parts of that festival! When you go near the girl, she will smile to be taken by your camera.

Yeah, the festival is something special! On 22nd of October of every year, you can enjoy this festival! Enjoy the long parade! :)
