About this event
The Nagoshi Oharae at Heian Jingu is the summer version of the twice-yearly Grand Purification, held on the last day of June. Participants pass through a large chinowa ring made of sacred grass to ritually cleanse themselves of half a year's impurities. Dating back over a thousand years, it is one of the most widely observed Shinto rituals in Japan.
