“Kyoto’s Ise-san” in Higashiyama [Hyuga Daijingu Shrine]

The Hyuga Grand Shrine was built between 485 and 487 during the reign of Emperor Henshu, and coexists with nature in the center of the Higashiyama mountains. In the days when people could only visit Ise Jingu once in their lifetime, this shrine was the "Ise-san of Kyoto" that people frequented. According to Mr. Tsuda, the chief priest, "Amaterasu Omikami, the deity of the Inner Shrine, is here with many other deities in the sunrise and sunset, and this is where the gods gather. Therefore, there are countless blessings such as prosperity of the family business, safety of the family, travel and traffic safety, good luck, protection from bad luck, and matchmaking!
