Gion Festival

Minato Town, preserving the splendor of the feudal era
About 200 years ago, when Minato Town flourished as a commercial port and post town, the Yasaka Shrine was built, which is considered its origin. The floats of Men-yama and Onna-yama traveling through the town evoke the atmosphere of that time.
