Twister, geiko, that sort of thing. This weekend is the 2-day Jizou-bon festival in neighborhoods all over Kyoto.

It’s for kids, pretty much Kyoto only; they play lots of games, get toys and snacks, bingo prizes, play a game with a priest using a giant Buddhist rosary. Jizou-san is the small roadside shrine with a stone figure. Jizou is the protector of children and travelers.
