Yasaka Shrine's Mikoshi Station holds the soul of Kyoto’s most sacred ritual—the annual Gion Festival. Before the procession begins, this is where the divine spirit is welcomed and prepared to journey through the city. Stand here, and you can almost hear the ancient drums and prayers that have echoed for centuries.
