\nA must-visit place around Gion Shijo is Yasaka Shrine.
\nYasaka Shrine is a place that has been affectionately called “Gion-san” by the people of Kyoto for generations, and the main shrine is designated as a national treasure. It is also a spot full of energy, with many other shrines and shrines valued as important cultural properties.<\/p>\nIf you want to ward off evil spirits, disasters, and get rid of epidemics, visit the main shrine<\/span><\/h3>\n
The main shrine in the center of Yasaka Shrine enshrines the couple of Suho no Mikoto and their children (Yashibashira Mikogami, etc.).
\nThere is a large pond below the main shrine, and it is said that the auspicious blue dragon lives here. The blue dragon has a flow of energy that means “sun”, “birth”, “morning”, etc., and it is said that it has a good luck effect.
\n
\nThe main shrine’s blessings are warding off evil spirits, warding off disasters, family safety, business prosperity, marriage, academic success, and safe childbirth.
\nLegend has it that the development of Yasaka Shrine began when an epidemic occurred in 877 (the first year of the Genkei era), and prayers were offered there to stop the epidemic. The main shrine can truly be said to be a spot that has a deep connection to recent times and to us.<\/p>\nFor matchmaking, go to Okuninushisha<\/span><\/h3>\n
There is Okuninushi Shrine (Okuni-san) near the prayer reception on the side of the main shrine.
\nThe main deity enshrined at Okuninushi Shrine is Okuninushi from the myth “The White Rabbit of Inaba.” When the white rabbit of Inaba was suffering, he was saved by the kind-hearted Okuninushi, and the two were brought together in a happy marriage.
\n
\nThere are cute wishing goods such as “votive tablets for good match” and “wishing rabbits” that will naturally bring a smile to the faces of visitors.<\/p>\nIf you want to pursue beauty, go to Bigozensha<\/span><\/h3>\n
If you want to be beautiful, don’t pass by Bigozensha!
\nBigozen Shrine is dedicated to the three goddesses known as the gods of beauty: the eldest daughter, Tagiribime no Mikoto, the second daughter, Tagitsuhime no Mikoto, and the third daughter, Ichikishimahime no Mikoto. (Ichikishima Hime no Mikoto)” is enshrined here.
\nMany people attend, including maikos, geishas, people in the entertainment industry, and people in the beauty and cosmetics industry.
\n
\nRight next to Migozen Shrine, the sacred water “Beauty Water” is gushing out. Although it is not for drinking, it is customary to apply two or three drops of the beauty water on your skin after visiting the shrine.
\nIn addition, please check out “Mimori (amulet)”, “Bigozensha Ema”, and “Beauty-san of Kyoto\/Gion (oil blotting paper)”.<\/p>\nPower spot (2) Maruyama Park<\/span><\/h2>\n
\u25a0Location: Maruyama-cho, Higashiyama-ku, Kyoto 605-0071
\n\u25a0Maruyama Park official website<\/a>
\n
\nMaruyama Park, designated as a scenic spot, is located at the back (east side) of Yasaka Shrine.
\nWhile it is a tourist spot, it is also a place of relaxation for Kyoto citizens, and a place where you can feel the breathing of the people living in the Gion area.<\/p>\nIf you want to feel the changing power of nature, visit weeping cherry blossoms<\/span><\/h3>\n
The symbol “Single White Higan Shidarezakura” in the center of Maruyama Park is a second-generation cherry tree grown by collecting seeds from the first generation cherry tree, which is 200 years old. Even now, the cherry blossom guardians are carefully managing and nurturing the trees, and you can see the passion that the people of Kyoto have for cherry blossoms.<\/p>\n
If you want to feel the weight of history, visit the bronze statues of patriots at the end of the Edo period<\/span><\/h3>\n
As you go up the slope of Maruyama Park, you will see the bronze statues of Ryoma Sakamoto and Shintaro Nakaoka.
\nAlthough the statue was erected in 1936, it was confiscated to secure metal resources during World War II. The one that currently stands was rebuilt in 1962 by volunteers from the Kochi Kenjin Association.
\nWhy not think about Japan’s history while looking at the statues of great people?<\/p>\nPower spot (3) Ebisu Shrine<\/span><\/h2>\n
\u25a0Location: 125 Komatsu-cho, Shijo Shimoru, Yamato-oji, Higashiyama-ku, Kyoto 605-0811
\n\u25a0Kyoto Ebisu Shrine official website<\/a>
\n
\nEbisu Shrine was built as a guardian shrine for Kenninji Temple.
\nEbisu is the god of business prosperity. He is also the only god born in Japan among the “Seven Lucky Gods,” which are said to be formed by combining the gods of Japan, India, and China.
\nThere are many events held throughout the year, including the Toka Ebisu Festival in January, so be sure to check them out before you go.<\/p>\nPower spot (4) Yasui Konpira Shrine<\/span><\/h2>\n
\u25a0Location: 70 Shimobentencho, Higashiyama-ku, Kyoto-shi, Kyoto 605-0823
\n\u25a0Yasui Konpiragu Official Website<\/a>
\n
\nYasui Konpiragu Shrine is said to “cut all bad relationships and create good ones.”
\nWhat differs from general matchmaking shrines is that it also focuses on “enkiri”. It is said that Emperor Sutoku, the main enshrined deity, went to Sanuki’s Kotohira Shrine, cutting off all desires and entombing himself. For this reason, it is also visited by people who want to get rid of bad friends, alcohol, tobacco, gambling, etc.
\n
\nBy cutting off bad things, you will find new good connections. Don’t worry, even if you visit with your significant other, your favorite friends, or family, your ties will not be severed.<\/p>\nEnjoy visiting the famous spots around Gion Shijo in a rental kimono\u266a<\/span><\/h2>\n
