In the Yamahoko Procession, which is the center of the Gion Festival pre-festival, gorgeous Yamahoko parades through the streets of Kyoto. These Yamahoko are intricately carved and decorated and have been prepared for months. Foreign tourists are overwhelmed by the beauty and grandeur of these Yamahoko. Many tourists are amazed by the exquisite craftsmanship, which they have never seen before, and exclaim, "This is real Japanese craftsmanship."

今後はビルの壁面に外国人向けにこの祇園祭の歴史とかアラビアから来た布とか説明すると長い歴史に納得するだろうし山車？の素材とか釘が無いとか今のお金で何億など表記するとよい。

外人観光客「なんでヨーロッパの街の絵があるの」

1990年代のインバウンドブームのかけらも無かった頃からみてますけど、山鉾巡行はもともと外国人には全然人気がなかったんですけどね。たまにうっかり四条通りに出てきた欧米人さんがいて、クッソ暑いなか心底ダルそうに見てるのが定番だった。ここまでつまらなく感じられるものなのかと私などは逆に驚いた。本当は今でもそうなんだと思いますよ。
