The main event of the Gion Festival, which is the key to fulfilling the great wish of warding off the epidemic, is the Mikoshi Togyo, which carries the enshrined deity from Yasaka Shrine to the Otabisho, then walks through the town and returns to Yasaka Shrine again.
Personally, I love the mikoshi of the Nishigozanishiki Mikoshi Kai, which is the heaviest among the three Mikoshi.

Let's go alone!
