Toji Temple's principal sanctuary celebrates the birthdays of two revered Shingon Buddhist masters: Kobo Daishi (Kukai) and Kogi Daishi (Kakuban). Held during Kyoto's verdant early summer season, the festival features a ceremonial procession, blessing rituals, fire ceremonies, a handmade crafts market, and temple tours.
