History

Byakko

Ogura Gion Yasaka Jinja is enshrined within Ogura Castle, dedicated to Susanoo no Mikoto. It is renowned for the Ogura Gion Taiko, the summer festival of Ogura, where the spirited sounds of the taiko drums resound throughout the castle town. This traditional festival, continuing from the Edo period, has become a source of pride for the people of Ogura. Worshipped as a deity of plague prevention and ward against calamities, this symbolic shrine of Ogura attracts many visitors.
