You can participate in the “First Pull”(Hikizome) event where test pulling is performed prior to the parade on Mount Minami Kannon, which has been assembled. According to one theory, it is also said that if you hold a rope, you can spend time in disease-free health, and even women and children who cannot pull mountains during the festival can participate. Why don't you pull a rope, move the yamahoko, and experience the performance and shouting of Gion Bayashi just like a real performance?

“Minami Kannon Yama”
Minami Kannon is also known as “Kudari Kannon Yama,” and the principal image is Yoryu Kannon, which relieves people from the suffering of illness, and Zenzai Doji is enshrined as a side samurai. They are extravagantly decorated, and they face the parade with the iconic willow branches hanging down.
