Yoga Jinja (Yoga Shrine)

奈良市高畑町1059

4.2(116)

This shrine is enshrined on Mount Yoga in Takahata-cho, Nara City, Nara Prefecture. It has long been known as a famous spot for cherry blossoms and autumn leaves, and is counted among the Sixteen Views of Nara.

History

According to shrine tradition, the Asuka Kannabi (divine guardians of the Asuka region) moved to this location along with the establishment of the Heijo capital, and this mountain was called Asukayama of Heijo. Originally serving as a guardian shrine at the Kimon (northeastern direction) of the Zendo-in temple of Gangoin Temple, it later received reverence from the Fujiwara clan and others as the guardian deity of the Dajoin temple of Kofukuji Temple. It is said that the shrine began to be called Yoga Jinja relatively recently.

What visitors say

Located on a small hill within walking distance from Nara Park, the shrine buildings are found after climbing up stone steps. Because it is situated in the city area, there is no parking lot, allowing for worship in a quiet atmosphere. Goshuin (calligraphic seal stamps) can be obtained at the shrine office located before the stairs, where they are written directly by hand.
