A traditional shrine festival held over three days in July at Susanoo Shrine, featuring sacred palanquin (mikoshi) processions through town and the highlight "kenka mikoshi" (fighting palanquins), where carriers vigorously clash the 500kg palanquins together while shouting. The festival is accompanied by traditional Gion music and drum performances.
