Festivals & events in Kyoto, answered

What are the best festivals & events picks in Kyoto?

Right now: 時代祭 (Jidai Matsuri) and 鞍馬の火祭 (Kurama Fire Festival). The list is refreshed several times a day from FreeGuides' own research and booking partners.

Are any of them free?

Yes: 時代祭 (Jidai Matsuri) and 鞍馬の火祭 (Kurama Fire Festival).

Can I plan a day around these?

Yes. Open What's On Kyoto and use Plan my day: it builds a day from these and everything else on in Kyoto, with a link to book each one. Ask Eli, FreeGuides' trip planner, to plan several days.
