The Gion Festival, which lasts throughout the entire month of July, is an annual traditional festival in Kyoto. It originated in 869 when a plague broke out in Kyoto. To pray for peace and the elimination of the disease, a grand festival was held. This festival gradually evolved into an annual fixed event and has continued to this day.
