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
