[Mikane Shrine] near Nijo Castle, which brings good luck with money

The golden torii gate facing Nishinotoin Dori gives a sense of power to this shrine, which enshrines metals, a rarity in Japan.
The main deity is Kanayamahikonomikoto, and the sacred ginkgo tree is said to bring good luck as a symbol of prosperity and longevity because of its leaves that spread in eight directions. At the awarding office, there are a wide variety of amulets and ema (votive picture tablet) with ginkgo motifs, and those who wish to increase their financial fortune should definitely try the lucky charms.
