What travelers say:

Although the Oharano Shrine is in Kyoto's Nishikyo district, it has a deep origin with Nara. When Emperor Shaowu moved the capital from Nara to Nagaoka, his queen Fujiwara Yixuan (ふじわらおとむろ) sacrificed the division of the Spring Festival Shrine in Ohara (the Shrine is dedicated to the Fujiwara family's god), and the emperor Wende officially built the shrine of Ohara Shrine during his reign. (The architectural style is undoubtedly made in spring). The pool of Oharano Shrine also mimics Nara Ape Dianchi, and it can be said that the architectural style of the whole shrine has deeply imprinted Nara. The stone statue of the lion roaring like a roaring dog before the shrine of Japan, Ohara is unique, using the deer の hound, the left is the female deer, the right is the stag with the horn, very rare. This also confirms the origin of Ohara Shrine and Nara, using Nara's representative Shende as a guardian beast. Need to pay: Free transportation: Hankyu Kyoto Line "Eastwards Japan" - get off. Take the bus stop in front of the Hankyu bus [System 5] "Nanchun Rikun" direction and get off at the terminal "Nanchun Rikun" station. After getting off the bus, walk a few steps west to see a trident intersection, continue on the left road, not long to see the guide sign of the Oharano Shrine, follow the sign for a while to see the first bird residence of the Shrine on the right.
