Yasaka Shrine's " Okera Festival"

This time, I would like to introduce Yasaka Shrine's " Okera Festival".

From JR Kyoto Station, take city bus lines 100 and 206 and get off at Gion.

The ceremony will be held from 7:30 p.m. on Sunday, December 31 to 5:00 a.m. on Monday, January 1.

I'm going to buy Kittchou rope.

In the "Okera Festial", worshippers transfer the fire made by burning the medicinal herb Okera from the "Okera lanterns" installed in several places in the temple grounds to the fire rope and auspicious rope, and take it home while spinning the auspicious rope.

It is said that if you transfer the "Okera fire" from the lantern to the rope and take it home while turning it from time to time so as not to extinguish the fire of the rope, and make ozoni with the flame and eat it, you will be able to spend your time without illness.
