Kurumazaki-jinja Shrine

4.0

A Shinto shrine located in the Saga area of Ukyo Ward, Kyoto City dedicated to Kiyohara no Yorinari, a Confucian scholar who lived in the late Heian period. Kiyohara no Yorinari is seen as a god of luck with money, prosperous business, luck in finding marriage, and the warding away of evil. The shrine has a custom whereby visitors can purchase a stone from the shrine office and make a wish; the shrine piles the stones of successful wish-makers in front of the main shrine. The grounds also contain a shrine dedicated to Ame no Uzume, the goddess of performing arts, which is famous for the many performers and entertainers who come to visit it. On the third Sunday of May, the shrine holds the Three Boats Festival on the Oi River on Mt. Arashi, an event which recreates the boating the nobility would engage in during the Heian period.

Lantern Festival

I had chance to visit this shrine during Mantosai Festival (middle of Audust), and lanterns were really beautiful. You can also buy it for 500 yen and hang it by yourself.
行くことは業務として行きますが、「参詣」はしたことがありません。

地元愛が人一倍強い私だが、余程の親しい知人や相手から熱望されない限りは京都市内ではめったに連れて行かない、参詣もしない、と云う３つの神社の一つです。ここと、晴明神社と野宮神社、この３か所については理由を正直に記述すると口コミ自体がこの「寄らば大樹の陰」みたいな単細胞な画一的サイトでは掲載拒否されかねないので・・敢えて、理由は伏せますが、行っても「手を合わせる」気分にならないような神社は行きたくない...
芸能神社の赤垣がすごい！

一陽来復のお札で有名な神社です。あと大堰川の三船祭りでもよく取り上げられますね。今回は八百万神社（やおよろずのかみ）の人脈拡大のお札を頂きお詣りしました。娘の名前の赤垣も場所を確認できて良かったです。嵐電の駅から入るユニークさも気に入っています。
