Yoyama can be said to be a small festival before the Yamahoko parade. The period is the first three days of the Yamahoko Parade・Shinko Festival and the Yamahoko Parade・Hanko Festival. In these few nights, many important roads in Kyoto will become paradise for pedestrians. Various houses open shops on both sides of the streets and in the alleys. The lively houses are one of the most popular activities in the Gion Festival, just like the Yamaho parade.
