Eco stations
Kyoto: The Gion Festival
BRIEF DESCRIPTION
The eco-stations
The Gion Festival, renowned for its numerous food stalls and drawing visitors from both Japan and abroad, faces a growing issue of escalating waste production. To maintain the city's cleanliness, volunteers are actively engaged in the collection and organization of garbage.
WHAT WE LOVE ABOUT THIS PLACE
We found this activity appealing because it contributes to the preservation of Kyoto's beauty by collecting litter from tourists during the Gion Festival.
THIS PLACE IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE
Without the presence of the eco-station, Kyoto would struggle to uphold its picturesque charm, potentially leading to a decline in the value of its historical treasures.
SPECIAL TIPS
There are illustrations of combustible garbage, cans, and plastic bottles in the trash cans, so you can separate them by disposing of them accordingly.
