In Kyoto, "Gion Matsuri," one of Japan's most famous festivals, has begun.

"Gion Matsuri" is a festival that dates back a thousand years.

Right now, in the city, people are assembling big floats called "yamahoko."

They don't use nails; they join them with ropes only.

The heaviest hoko weighs as much as 12 tons.

On July 17, the yamahoko will move along the streets of the old capital.
