    It's powerful to meet a big tsuru. . .

    Original Text

    Arrived in Kyoto in a straight line from Higashiyama Gojobashi / Wakamiya Hachimangu Shrine, commonly known as Mishin Shrine, Tottori to Kyoto, set at G-Mapwo Hachimangu, near Kiyomizu-dera, so the road is ridiculously crowded. I searched for it by going around a narrow road. There is a toll parking lot nearby, where you can park your car and visit Hachimangu. I checked online in advance that there was a big Zhongxu on the left side of the main shrine. Usually, Mr. Zhongxu, made of tiles, is on the roof, so big ...

    Kyoto City Designated Cultural Property の Honda

    Original Text

    When I went up Gojo-dori from Kamogawa, there was a sign on the sidewalk. When you dive down the torii gate, a hall of worship stands in front of you, and the main shrine built in 1654 was designated as a "Kyoto City Designated Cultural Property". Grace, a large mirror was installed in front of the hall of worship, and the catch phrase "beautiful body and mind" was written.

    Quiet atmosphere

    Original Text

    On July 27th, I stopped by at just around 11:00. There are no worshipers and it feels quiet. I happened to pass by so I stopped by. Personally, I don't like it when it's garbage, so I like this point.

    It's a cute size shrine.

    It is a shrine on the left side on the way from Gojo Ohashi to Kiyomizu-dera. It's a small shrine, but it has a very cute atmosphere, or I took a detour a little because of the easy-to-stop atmosphere. There is also a signboard from which it comes from, so I think it's a good idea to read it.

    It is a small shrine along National Highway 1.

    Original Text

    It is derived from the Wakamiya of Iwashimizu Hachimangu, which was located in the mansion of Minamoto no Yoriyoshi, the master of Kawachi Genji. Yoriyoshi is a person who destroyed Mr. Ou Abe in the role of 9 in the previous year under the pretext of being attacked by his own team while he was in Mutsu no Kami (self-made self-performance?). In addition, the eldest son had Yoshiie, the third son had Yoshimitsu, and later produced the leaders of the samurai government in Japan. During the Kamakura and Muromachi periods, this shrine was also very crowded, but it was devastated by the Onin Rebellion. I moved to the present place under the Toyotomi family administration. There is also a monument to the birthplace of Shimizu ware in front of the shrine ...
