Akayama Zen'in Aioji Shrine
京都市左京区修学院開根坊町１８ 赤山禅院
A Tendaishu sect temple located in Sakyo Ward, Kyoto, which serves as a branch temple of Enryakuji. It has long been revered as a deity for warding off misfortune and evil influences.
History
It is said to have been founded in 888 CE (Ninna 4) by An'e. Its establishment originated from a vow to build a Zen'in (meditation temple) inspired by Akayama Hokke-in, where the monk Ennin, who traveled to Tang China, stayed. Despite the Separation of Shinto and Buddhism edicts during the Meiji era, it has maintained its form of combined Shinto and Buddhist worship to the present day.
