The current shrine pavilion was rebuilt in 1654 by the fourth shogun, Tokugawa Ietsuna. The shrine was recognized not only for its architectural style called "Gion-zukuri," in which the worship hall and main shrine are covered by a large roof, but also for its cultural and historical significance, which has been passed down through the ages in cooperation with its bearers for over 1,150 years since the Gion Festival was first held in the area. While taking your time to visit the Migozensha Shrine and other shrines on the grounds of the shrine, pray for peace and happiness in the new year.
