History

This shrine has walked through the history of Kyoto's summer festival as the guardian shrine of the Ayagasa Hoko float during the Gion Festival. Since ancient times, it was established to protect the town of Kyoto from epidemic and calamity. During festival season, many people visit to receive sacred purification.
