About this event
The Narita City Tourism Association festival page covers the Gion Festival, held over three days in early July with a procession of mikoshi and ten dashi and yatai floats, drawing roughly 450,000 visitors. Highlights are the so-odori dance in front of the Shinshoji Great Main Hall and the so-biki pull up the Nakamachi slope. The 2027 dates are not yet published; the window follows the 2026 edition, 10 to 12 July, so treat it as expected.
