    This shrine in Kita Ward, Kyoto City, enshrines the patron god of the Kamo clan. It is said the shrine was founded in 678 when the god Kamowakeikazuchi no Okami descended to the foot of Mt. Kamosan during the reign of Emperor Jimmu. The god is said to protect against misfortune, grant good fortune, victory in battle, and protect the power industry. The main hall and temporary shrine are both National Treasures and were last rebuilt in 1863 while the 34 worship halls rebuilt in 1628 are designated Important Cultural Properties of Japan.

    Sure, this is by now a sakura-themed place, and people go for themes - but I think this is one of the loveliest, most serene shinto shrines in Kyoto, and that is saying alot. A perfect balance of...

    Kyoto Kyoutoshi Kita-ku Kinugasatenjinmorichou 10
    Thought to have been founded before the building of Heian-kyo, Wara Tenjingu Shrine is dedicated to the Shinto goddess Konohananosakuya-hime. She is worshiped as a divinity of matchmaking, fertility, and child birth. In addition to prayers for safe delivery when women are five months pregnant, women receive amazake as a blessing to help them nurse on the ninth day of the ninth month of pregnancy. The shrine's especially busy at that time. You can also receive prayers to ward off evil and invite blessings.

    娘の安産祈願は２度ともこちらにお参りしました。境内は手狭な感じで妊婦さんには適度な広さでは。 他の方の口コミにもあるように係りの人は愛想よくありません。 いつも同じ質問が多く、冷たい感じの対応になっている感じで録音しておけばと思いました。 妊婦は繊細な時期でもあるので配慮すればと思いますが、ご利益はあるのかな（笑） 無料の駐車場がありますが狭いので、急ぐなら近くのコインパーキング利用もありです。

    Kyoto Kyoutoshi Kita-ku Toujinnakamachi 53

    狭い、小さな神社で、社や建物には目立つ物はないが、境内一円、綺麗に清掃された美しい神社でした。等持院から真如寺に至る途中にある神社です。昔の事なので社名の由来とか色々な説もあるみたいですが、卓上理論家でもないので、どうでも良いことです。命名の由来等とは関係なく境内にある「力石大明神」の神石の方が気に入っている神社です。こんなに巨大な石は誰も持ち上げられませんので、所詮は伝説でしょうが・・・。

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.
