Tsuyazaki Gion Yamakasa Festival

  The first festival was reportedly held in 1712, when "Gion God" was welcomed at a Gion shrine cottage in Namiori shrine site, and on June 19th in lunar callendar three festival floats were devoted to God in every following year.
The festival experienced suspensions during WWⅡ and from 1962 to 1974; however, in 1975, 16 people established "Tsuyazaki Yamakasa Preservation Society", and restarted the festival with one float.
