Okazaki Shrine

When the capital was moved safely in 794, according to the edict of Emperor Kanmu, a shrine was established in all directions in order to guard the king's castle. Okazaki Shrine was one of them. Because it was located in the east, it was also called the King of Toten. It enshrines the god of marriage of Susuzhan Mingzun and Qi Daeda Himing, and the god of three females, five males and eight pillars. In the Muromachi period, it was rebuilt by the shogun Ashikaga Yoshimura, and the relationship with the shogunate is profound. Hare inhabits the shrine area, and it is said that the prolific rabbit is the messenger of the clan god. There are also many believers who are deeply believed in the god of security and marriage and pray for doom.

I’ve been thinking about the rabbit shrine in my dreams for a long time, and I finally got what I wanted when I went to Japan this time! ! ! Our 2-day itinerary in Kyoto is chartered, so there is no need to study the traffic route. The car drove directly to the entrance of the shrine, and I was crazy when I got off the car! ! Although the shrine is very small, because it is not a popular spot, so few people may know it, so there is almost no one. It is very quiet! I bought a bunch of rabbit defensive items and ornaments in the shop at the door, and I was so happy! There are rabbits in the shrine, black ones, I also washed them and wrote my wish card! I was so excited that I took a lot of photos and took photos with the rabbit stone statue. The excitement is beyond words!

A small temple, mainly rabbits, black rabbits have the effect of seeking children. I paid 500 yen and randomly selected a rabbit. The rabbit had a signature in it. Those who were drawn to the murder lot were burned in a designated place in the temple. The rabbits were left on the shelf and they could be taken home if they were lucky. Remember to prepare small change, not large denominations.
