July 15 (Mon) Gion Shrine Summer Festival⛩️✨

On Monday, July 15, the Gion Shrine in the Kuraoka area held its summer annual festival, affectionately known as “Gion-san.”🎉

The day opened with the Morimaki ritual, followed by a ceremony, kagura performances, the sacred procession, and dance presentations—there was so much to enjoy.😊🎶

Although the weather brought rain at first, true to the spirit of “Gion-san,” a break in the clouds appeared by the time the sacred procession ended.☀️

Despite the rain, people from the neighborhood, across the prefecture and beyond, and even from overseas, came out early in the morning to enjoy the festival.🌍✨

It’s wonderful to see a community festival cherished by locals becoming known to and enjoyed by so many people.😌👏

We hope this tradition will continue to be passed on carefully into the future.
