Iwase Shrine
京都市上京区大黒町
A shrine located within a residential neighborhood in Nishijin, enshrining a giant stone. Locally affectionately known as 'Iwase-san,' it is revered for blessings related to breastfeeding and child-rearing.
History
Legend holds that when a sacred stone originally located near Nijo-Horikawa was moved to the area around Iwase Michinosuke Rokkaku or to the bank of a pond at Chūgōmon-in's estate, strange phenomena occurred. Distressed female court attendants consulted a monk, who advised moving the stone to its current location. Since being designated as 'Uchinyama Iwase-ji' (Breast Mountain Iwase Temple) during this relocation, it has been a center of faith for breastfeeding and child-rearing.
