Too difficult to watch the Gion Festival Yamaboko parades?
The Gion Festival has been attracting a lot of attention from both domestic and foreign tourists. Therefore, especially on the days of the Yamaboko parades, the streets will be extremely crowded, and it is difficult to move around the main street, such as:
・Kyoto's summer is hot and humid weather (might even rain hard...)
・Fully packed with many tourists so it's difficult to even find and go to the restrooms

Experience the Gion Festival in Kyoto

After COVID, the number of foreign tourists visiting Japan has increased very much. Also it became more common to see them at sports stadiums. What we heard from them is the difficulty of purchasing tickets. Match information, ticket information, how to buy, procedures for getting tickets (language, payment, Japanese address and phone number required)...etc People often gave up halfway through because of the difficulty of the process. "Japan Sports Ticket" supports the tourists to visit the Japanese local sports games, hope the tourist enjoy a unique and unforgettable Japan trip!!
