Kyoto Ebisu Shrine
京都市東山区小松町125 恵美須神社
Known as one of Japan's Three Great Ebisu shrines, it attracts popular devotion as a deity of commercial prosperity, family fortune, and safe travels.
History
Founded in 1202 CE (Ken'nen 2) by Zen master Eihei when he established Kennin-ji Temple. He enshrined Ebisu, the deity who protected him from a storm at sea upon his return from Southern Song China, as the guardian deity. After the Onin War, the shrine was relocated to its current site and was designated as a Kotai-sha (village shrine) during the Meiji period.
