Gion Festival 2022 Highlights: First in 3 Years, Plus Taka Yama Debut

Scores of men carry a golden, decorated portable shrine on their shoulders at Yasaka Shrine during Kyoto's GIon Festival.

Gion Festival 2022 was a milestone in its history: it marked the first time the festival resumed after being scaled back due to a pandemic. Remember, averting epidemics was the festival’s original purpose. So Gion Matsuri 2022 marked a kind of rebirth in its history.
