Kadode Hachimangu Shrine

3.5

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.

プチ旅行の安全を祈願する

Reviewed : 2022.02.04

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。
小さな神社

小さいながら手入れされていてキレイです。桜の季節は良いかもしれません。普段は静かな感じで、隣に公園もあるので、季節のよい時なら一人休息にピッタリです。神社は無人のようでした。可愛い鳩のお守りがありました。
旅行安全に御利益

首途八幡宮(かどではちまんぐう)は、源義経が、奥州に行くときに、祈願した神社です。なので、旅行安全に御利益があります。
