Gion Festival in Kyoto begins quietly due to coronavirus

Representatives of an association preserving the Yamahoko float processions, the main event of Kyoto's Gion Festival, attend the "Osendo no gi" ritual at Yasaka shrine on July 1, 2020, marking the start of the traditional festival. This year's Gion Festival will be downscaled with Yamahoko float processions and other events canceled to prevent coronavirus infections. (Kyodo) ==Kyodo
