Izu Shrine
大津市本堅田１丁目１９−２６
Comprising the main halls of both Izu Shrine and Kanda Shrine, this shrine has been revered as the chief guardian deity of the entire Konda area. Its family crest is the two-leaf mallow (futa-ba-aoi), the same as that of Kamo Shrine.
History
Tradition holds that its founding dates back to 892 CE (Kannpei 4), when the Daigongen of Izu was invited by the High Priest Son'i of the Monhōjō section on Mount Hiei. A Miyaza (shrine council) existed from the Muromachi period. In 1569 CE (Eiroku 12), the shrine was damaged by fire, but only Izu Shrine was rebuilt during the Tenshō era. It was designated a Village Shrine in 1876 CE (Meiji 9) and later designated as a site for the offering of sacred food and silk in 1921 CE (Taishō 10).

What visitors say
This shrine is impressive for its straight row of torii gates extending from the street, a moat that feels like a boundary, and a path of approach that crosses a small bridge. The precincts are quiet and pleasant, with a large sacred tree standing tall along a camphor tree path beside the main hall. There is a heart-shaped spirit stone said to bring good luck, and there are several spots nearby where you can enjoy a meal.
