Gion Festivals
Nakatsu, Hita and Usuki hold Gion festivals on 21st and 22nd July each year. Resembling its famous counterpart of the same name and held in the same month in Kyoto, the colourful and sumptuous Gion festivals recall an earlier, courtly period of Japan. A less grand but more homely Gion parade is also celebrated every July in the atmospheric main street of Kitsuki.
