Aga Shrine
宇治市宇治蓮華７２
A shrine located in Uji City, Kyoto Prefecture, believed to have ancient ties to the 'aga' (provinces) under the Yamato government. During the Heian period, it was designated as the guardian shrine of Byodo-in Temple by Fujiwara no Michinaga.
History
The founding date is unknown, but it is believed to have been associated with the 'aga' (provinces) under the Yamato government in ancient times. In 1052 CE (Heian period), Fujiwara no Michinaga is said to have designated it as the guardian shrine when he established Byodo-in as a separate estate. Until the late Edo period, it was under the control of Miidera (Onjoji) due to the syncretism of Shinto and Buddhism (shinbutsu-shugo).
