Stop 1 of 3 · Festival stop
Hakata Gion Yamakasa
Fukuoka, Japan
13 July 2027 – 15 July 2027
Arrive for the festival’s decisive final progression. July 13 brings Shudanyamamise, July 14 is best used to understand the route and rest, and the pre-dawn Oiyama climax begins on July 15. Stay within walking distance of Hakata’s historic core, scout one viewing position in daylight, and resist trying to chase the floats through restricted streets.
