    When the capital was transferred to Heian, it was solicited as the god of the guardian of the direction.

    The 1st Teteku Nishijin Digital Stamp Rally! [Period: November 11, 5th (Saturday) ~ December 10th (Sunday)] I visited. When the capital was moved to Heian, it was solicited as the god of the guardian of the orientation.

    Grand General Yashin Shrine

    Original Text

    A shrine located a little east of Nishioji Ichijo. The precincts are well maintained and not big, but they are quite spectacular. There is a mysterious atmosphere because it enshrines the God of the direction related to onmyodo.

    Mandeo-jeon

    Original Text

    It was also a place of Yinyangdo, which was a belief in Yinyangdo, which truly matches the Im Bangwei, the eight guardian deities built in four places in Kyoto to protect Kyoto at the beginning, and Mandeokjeon can be plumbed for 5 days in spring and autumn. When I build a new house, I'm going to go here.

    Spiritual

    Original Text

    It is near Kitano Tenmangu Shrine and Hirano Shrine. It is one of the generals solicited from Kasuga in Nara as a god of exclusion, but later synonymous with the eight generals of the calendar god and became the current name. The general is a divine personality that controls the orientation with the spirit of Taibai (Venus) on the Yin-Yang Road. The tower with a star mark in front of the main shrine shows the orientation. There is a mirror in the back of the main shrine, which is spiritual.

    Long 々の Visit です

    Original Text

    I worshiped for the first time in a long time during the Gion Festival. Originally, it is an area with few tourists, but there is Kitano Tenmangu Shrine nearby, and there are really many temples and shrines. It may be a good idea to take a walk and study Buddha and God.
