A parade that stopped a pandemic? WHAT!? Drop everything and listen to the gossip we have to share on Gion Matsuri, one of Japan's biggest festivals - which means a lot considering the country celebrates 200k festivals every year. This one is basically a matter of public safety, so get comfy, press play, and find out all about the festival that cured a pandemic in Japan in the past. Disclaimer - we meant shrine when we said temple, so sorry Shinto gods!
