    京都トレイルで将軍塚から粟田神社に下りてきました。旧東海道に面した急な石段を上ると平安神宮の大鳥居が見渡せる小高い山肌に鎮座。訪れる人も少ない静かな神社でした。京の七口の一つ粟田口にあり京を旅立つ人々が旅の安全を祈願しました。アヒルを浮かべた手水鉢が出迎えてくれる境内にはスサノオノミコトを主祭神に御本殿や稲荷神社、出世恵美須神社や祭り関係の小さな宝物殿も。

    南禅寺から円山公園に行く途中、ちょっと立ち寄りました。長い石段が堪えました。境内はひっそりとしていて、今年の紅葉は見栄えがあまりよくなかったです。1月の「出世えびす祭」や6月の「茅の輪くぐり」に訪れたことがあります。「粟田山荘」で食事した帰りにも参詣したことがありますが、その「粟田山荘」は今年6月で営業を終了しました。残念です。
