Miyake Hachimangu Shrine
On the last day of our stay in Kyoto, I visited the Shinto shrine Miyake Hachimangu Shrine—a lesser-known spot in the city that we discovered by chance. This shrine features statues of pigeons and various items (ema plaques and figurines) adorned with pigeon imagery, which immediately caught my attention as a fan of all things pigeon-related.
You can reach the shrine on foot from Hachiman-mae Station. I was delighted to see a cute postal pigeon illustration on the wall as soon as I exited the train, confirming I was on the right path.
The shrine is dedicated to the deity Hachiman, the protector of warriors, whose cult is closely associated with pigeons. In mythology, it is believed that this god could transform into a golden pigeon (an interesting fact: "hato" translates to "pigeon" in Japanese). In Japanese culture, pigeon imagery serves as a talisman for family protection, especially for children. People come here to pray for their child's health and academic success. According to ancient legends, pigeons were thought to eat "mushi"—parasitic creatures causing colic and other illnesses in infants—which explains the abundance of pigeon symbolism in the shrine.
The place itself is very peaceful and pleasant; there are few tourists, allowing you to fully enjoy the shrine's architecture and natural surroundings. Additionally, a large number of cooing divine messengers roam the grounds, and you can feed them by purchasing food on-site. The birds are quite accustomed to the attention and treats, so they will eagerly approach you for food.
As with many shrines in Japan, you can buy a figurine of the animal symbolizing the shrine and leave it there while making a wish. Naturally, I purchased a small pigeon figurine, which contained a message in Japanese—a language I don't study, making its meaning impossible to decipher.
Well, I hope Google Translate didn't lie about the "great fortune" and "catching the wind with the dragon's clouds," whatever that might mean. 😊
A Floating Gate - Shirahige Shrine
I’ve wanted to visit the Shirahige Shrine every time I visited Kyoto and this time I finally did it! I was just as impressed as I expected to be. Despite it being quite a trek out of the city it is definitely worth it! I was surprised at how little people were there. If you want to make it even more special, go at sunrise or sunset and if you can, when it’s snowing, it’s really beautiful then. #historicallandmarks #japan #japantrip #shrine #tori #kyoto #kyototrip #shirahigeshrine

Miyajidake Shrine: Sacred Shrine, Shimenawa Sacred Rope, Sunset Viewing
Miyajidake Shrine is located in Fukuoka City. It is a popular shrine for people who come to watch the sunset because the sun sets over the sea right in front of the shrine entrance. But for us, just to see the giant Shimenawa rope, or straw rope that we saw hanging in front of the shrine, was worth it.
Travel in late January to early February. Plum blossoms will also bloom inside the temple.

The Beloved Gion San — Yasaka Shrine in Kyoto's Gion District
The deity being enshrined at the Yasaka-jinja Shrine is Susanoo as its kami, amongst others. Kami refers to a deity or a supernatural power that is revered as god and inhabits in nature. The Yasaka-jinja Shrine was originally named Gion Shrine, dedicated to Shinto, which is considered a native faith in Japan.
Shinto is polytheistic and animistic. Worshippers practice the principles of purity, as shown in their cleaning rituals. Other rituals include dance, rites of passage and kami festivals. Followers of the faith will offer food and drinks to the deities, and priests officiated some of the shrines as well.
In Kyoto, the Gion Shrine was a beloved site for the locals. They call it Gion San, as an endearing name for the shrine. The site is very crowded during the New Years. Every year, the shrine holds the Migoshi Togyo, meaning the procession of the portable shrine, as the celebration of the Gion Festival. It takes place on the nights of July 17 and 24. On July 17, 3 Migoshi’s (the portable shrines) will be taken for display at Otabisho in downtown Kyoto. It is believed that these shrines carry the deities with them and will bless everyone on the way of the parade. After sitting in Otabisho for a week, the portable shrines return to Yasaka-jinja Shrine on July 24.
Perhaps what caught my attention at the Yasaka-jinja Shrine is a whole section of the shrine dedicated to romantic relationships (with matchmaking prayers). Daikoku-sha is where the faithful gather to pray for a good relationship with their loved ones.

Beautiful day at Lion Shrine Namba❤️

It has captured the hearts of countless tourists and made it stand out and become an "Internet celebrity" among the uniform shrines.
Compared with traditional Japanese shrines, this temple is particularly eye-catching and magical. Why was it built here?
Legend has it that there was an infectious disease rampant in ancient times. At that time, the people in the Namba area were deeply affected by it. Later, the god lion drove away the plague and protected the people. People offered it and let it sit here to defeat demons. At Yasaka Shrine, you will see many lion sculptures of different shapes, and even the outlet of the Mitarai near the main entrance is also in the shape of a lion. It can be seen that this shrine admires lions very much.
The Lion's Hall is 12 meters high and 11 meters wide. The open mouth is full of magical power, which can suck away people's bad luck and bring good luck.
It is less than a ten-minute walk from the Takashimaya Namba head office in the residential area. Friends who come to Takashimaya for shopping must not miss it.

Amanoiwato Shrine
A shrine revered by the people of Kyushu for generations. It is believed that the deity Amaterasu hid in this cave out of fear of the deity Susanoo, plunging the world into darkness. Later, Amaterasu was coaxed out by the other deities through festive activities in front of the cave, bringing light back to the world.
**Amanoiwato Shrine** (天岩戸神社, Amanoiwato-jinja) is a Shinto shrine located in Takachiho, Miyazaki Prefecture, Japan. This shrine holds significant importance in Japanese mythology as it is associated with the legend of the sun goddess **Amaterasu**. According to the legend, Amaterasu hid herself in a cave called **Amanoiwato** (meaning 'Heavenly Rock Cave') after being angered by her brother Susanoo. This event caused the world to be engulfed in darkness since she is the sun goddess. The other deities gathered outside the cave to devise a plan to lure her out, which involved the passionate dance of the goddess Ame-no-Uzume. Eventually, Amaterasu was drawn out, bringing light back to the world.
### Key Features of Amanoiwato Shrine:
- **Mythological Significance**: The shrine is built near the Amanoiwato cave, believed to be the hiding place of Amaterasu. The cave itself is not open to the public, but visitors can view it from a sacred observation point nearby, guided by the shrine's priests.
- **Sacred River**: Near the shrine is **Amano-Yasukawara**, a small cave by the Iwato River where the deities gathered to discuss how to bring Amaterasu out of the cave. It is a pilgrimage site where visitors leave stone piles as offerings.
- **Cultural Importance**: The shrine and its surroundings are considered one of the most sacred sites in Shinto, deeply connected to the origins of Shinto mythology.
Visitors to Amanoiwato Shrine are captivated by its spiritual atmosphere and unique place in the mythological creation stories of Japan.

[Kyoto Sightseeing] Visit Kitano Tenmangu Shrine, home of the "Nade Cow" that will grant one wish🌸
"Kitano Tenmangu Shrine"
During a trip to Kyoto, I went to the head shrine of Kitano Tenmangu Shrine, which enshrines Sugawara no Michizane, the god of learning.
I went there during the plum season ✿
It wasn't in full bloom yet, but the white, pink, and yellow plum blossoms were in bloom, and just looking at them was relaxing.
I also stroked the cow while making a wish. The flower water fountain was also very beautiful. I got excited when I found the heart and bear shapes ♡ (Can you tell which one?)
This photo was taken during the COVID-19 pandemic, so there are not many people. I think it's bustling with people now.
Next time I'd like to visit during the autumn leaves season 🍁
