    Kyoto Prefecture Kyoto-shi, Kamigyo-ku Horikawa Tsushin Ichijo Le Rui Mihacho 806
    This is a Shinto shrine dedicated to Abe no Seimei, a diviner active in the mid Heian period, built in 1007 by Emperor Ichijo in order to appease the diviner’s spirit. The shrine helps ward off evil and danger, and many visitors come to escape misfortune. The shrine has a distinct Onmyodo mystical atmosphere, from the pentagrams depicted on the tori gate, paper lanterns and votive pictures to the diviner stone statues.

    For me the most powerful place in Kyoto, and that is saying something. Abe no Seimei is the Yin Yang Master, and Onmyoji has become famous anywhere, not least via Netflix, but it remains a small...

    Kyoto Prefecture Kyoto-shi, Kamigyo-ku Horikawa dori Kami-gi-otaku Kagetsucho 722-10
    This shrine is on Horikawa-dori Street in Kamigyo Ward, Kyoto City. It is the first Tenmangu Shrine in Japan and honors the spirit of Sugawara-no-Michizane. Many visitors come for the purported benefits of worshiping here, including protection from floods and fire. The Crimson Weeping Cherry Tree on the grounds has made it an off-the-beaten-track cherry blossom viewing spot.

    今回は昨年京都観光検定に出た「登天石」を見学に来ました。石の上に道真の霊が現れ、ここから天に登ったと伝えられています。神社そのものは小ぶりですが、天神社の象徴たる梅が綺麗に咲き始めていました。

    Kyoto Prefecture Kyoto City Chukyo Ward Chiri Koen Temple Imabuki Koulu Sakurai cho 102-1
    A Shinto shrine located in Kamigyo Ward, Kyoto City connected to safe travels. Due to its location in the unlucky area northeast of the palace, it is also seen as the palace’s guardian and was called the Uchino hachimangu. It is said, however, that the shrine’s location was once the site of a mansion belonging to Kaneuri Kichiji, and after Minamoto no Yoshitsune prayed here for a safe journey before heading to Hiraizumi in Oshu, it came to be called the Kadode Hachimangu (“Shrine of Leaving Home for War”). The shrine sells a variety of charms, including cocoon charms, silkworm cocoons wrapped in straw, which bring about family fortune and prosperity; pigeon-shaped charms which provide safe travels, and bell charms which bring about a change in fortunes and protect against calamity.

    義経が奥州に旅立つ際に行路の安全を祈願したといわれる社。 節分の前日、境内で二三人の参詣者を見かけただけでひっそりとしていました。 冬ざれた境内で、絵馬と千羽鶴だけが華やいで見えました。

Its wooden tea houses, shuffling geisha, and spiritual sights have seen Kyoto hailed as the heart of traditional Japan, a world apart from ultramodern Tokyo. Despite being the Japanese capital for over a century, Kyoto escaped destruction during World War II, leaving behind a fascinating history which can be felt at every turn, from the fully gold-plated Kinkakuji Temple down to traditional customs such as geisha performances and tea ceremonies, which are still practiced to this day.
