京都の年越しの伝統行事「おけら詣（まい）り」が2023年12月31日の夜、京都市東山区の八坂神社であった。時折、雨が降る中、参拝者は「おけら火」を縄に受けて新年の無病息災を祈った。

Kyoto's traditional New Year's Eve event, ''Okera Pilgrimage,'' was held on the night of December 31, 2023 at Yasaka Shrine in Higashiyama Ward, Kyoto City. Even in the occasional rain, worshipers prayed for good health in the new year by catching ''Okerabi'' on a rope.
