About this event
This ceremony at Yasaka Shrine combines the regular monthly festival with the Naginata-boko neighborhood's traditional Thousand Visits pilgrimage, a sacred rite tied to the opening of the Gion Festival. Representatives from the Naginata-boko float district make one thousand reverent visits to the shrine, praying for the festival's safe and successful completion. It marks the earnest beginning of Gion Festival preparations.
