[2023] Naturally healed and refreshed! Kyoto Turtle...
2023.8.1
[Hashita Shrine] located in Kameoka, a familiar location for historical dramas
The shrine is said to have been built in the early Nara period (710-794) and is mentioned in the Engishiki, a book written in the Heian period (794-1185). The mysterious precincts and approach to the shrine, where the main shrine stands quietly surrounded by forest trees, are often used for filming of movies, TV dramas, and other period dramas. The shrine has appeared in numerous productions, including "Onihei Hankacho" and "Jusannin no Shikaku.
The reason for this is a mystery, but it is fun to look for turtles lurking in the precincts of the shrine, as they can be seen here and there, such as on the flat plaque of the torii gate and on the foundation of the lantern in front of the main shrine.
By the side of the approach, an eye-catching artwork depicts a tree that felled in a typhoon five years ago as a horse.
Chainsaw art welcomes you to a tree that felled in a typhoon in 2018 and looks like a horse.
Don't miss the elegant thatched-roof shrine office that stands to the north of the shrine.
