Uji Shrine
〒611-0021 京都府宇治市宇治山田１
A shrine listed in the Engishiki (a 10th-century codex) located in Ujiyamada, Uji City, Kyoto Prefecture. It forms a pair with the adjacent Uji Kami Shrine.
History
The exact origins and founding date are unclear, but it existed as a single entity with the adjacent Uji Kami Shrine. Before the Meiji era, it was known as the 'Shimo Shrine' (Lower Shrine) or 'Wakamiya' (Young Palace), and together with Uji Kami Shrine, the two were collectively called 'Uji Rikugu Myojin' (Uji Detached Palace Myojin). Upon the start of the Meiji era, it was separated from Uji Kami Shrine and was promoted to a Prefectural Shrine (Fusha) in 1911.

What visitors say
The shrine grounds feature the motif of the 'Mikaeri Usagi' (Looking Back Rabbit) in various locations. There is a custom that if you find three rabbits while walking around the main hall (honden), your wishes will come true. The atmosphere is quiet and surrounded by lush greenery, with rabbit figurines visible at the water purification basin (temizuya) and in front of the administrative office. It is within walking distance of JR Uji Station, and Goshuin (a shrine's calligraphic seal stamp) can be obtained.
