I believe the usage of the term "Yoiyama" was incorrect. I have fixed it. The parade is called the Yama-boko Junko. The eve of the parade is called "Yoiyama". I have added the kanji orthography for the relevant terms.
Also, with regards to the byoubu matsuri, in most cases it is only the genkan, or entryway that is open to the public. In the cases where more of a house is opened is it usually not a private house, but a business or gallery. - CIK
The pictures for this matsuri are terrible. Does anyone have better work? 211.116.89.153 15:25, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Two things I want to add (at least to the discussion)
1) This festival also takes place in Hita, Oita
2) There's no mention here about women being prohibited from touching the floats, which the Japanese version of this mentions. 60.44.124.54 (talk) 11:42, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
