- Kyoto Ujishi Uji Yamada 59
- The main shrine building of this Shinto shrine is believed to be Japan’s oldest example of shrine architecture and is dedicated to Prince Uji no Wakiiratsuko, Emperor Ojin, and Emperor Nintoku. The main shrine building, a National Treasure, is thatched with hinoki bark and is flanked on either side by inner shrines. All three buildings are built in the same nagare-zukuri architectural style. The front shrine standing in front of the main shrine building, a National Treasure, is built with hinoki cypress felled in the early Heian period and is a rare example of the ancient shinden-zukuri architectural style. In 1994, the entire grounds of the shrine were registered as part of the “Historic Monuments of Ancient Kyoto” World Heritage listing.

- Kyoto Ujishi Uji Yamada 1
- This Shinto shrine is dedicated to Ujinowaki Iratsuko-no-Mikoto, son of Emperor Ojin. The enshrined deity had made this land his home when, according to the legend, he got lost on the way to Uji from Kawachi province. A divine messenger in the form of a rabbit called a “Mikaeri Usagi” (turning back rabbit) guided him back by hopping along a little way and then looking back as if to say, “Follow me,” before hopping on a little further. As such the omikuji fortunes are contained in cute little ceramic rabbits.

- Kyoto Uji-shi Uji Renge 72
- "This shrine to Konohanasakuya-hime is located south of Byodoin Temple. It is said to grant prayers for marriage and safe childbirth. Its unique annual festival, which sees many visitors each year, is often called ""anya no kisai"" because it starts in the dark of night at midnight every June 5th with all the lights in the surrounding area extinguished."

Agata Shrine is a guardian shrine of Byodoin, and actually it is not far from Byodoin. But as its location is not in the course of touristic itinerary, not many tourists come to visit it. If you are...

住宅地にありますが、木のトンネルの様な道がお気に入りです。前の道路が狭いので車では行きにくいですが、散歩をしたりしてる人も多く、その場所だけ異空間のようで、とても癒されます。

Kyoto Areas
Its wooden tea houses, shuffling geisha, and spiritual sights have seen Kyoto hailed as the heart of traditional Japan, a world apart from ultramodern Tokyo. Despite being the Japanese capital for over a century, Kyoto escaped destruction during World War II, leaving behind a fascinating history which can be felt at every turn, from the fully gold-plated Kinkakuji Temple down to traditional customs such as geisha performances and tea ceremonies, which are still practiced to this day.
