Located on a small island in Kujo Pond within Kyoto Imperial Park, this shrine is affectionately known as 'Ike no Benten-san' (Benten of the Pond). It is renowned as one of the 'Three Torii Gates of Kyoto,' featuring a distinctive torii gate with a Karahafu (curved gable roof).

History
The shrine's origins are traced to Taira no Kiyomori, who enshrined Itsukushima when he developed the artificial island at Hyogo Port, later adding the spirit of his mother. At an unspecified date, the shrine was relocated to its current site. In later periods, it was incorporated into the residence of the Kujo family and revered as their protective shrine. When the Kujo family moved to Tokyo during the Meiji era, the shrine remained in Kyoto. The shrine buildings were reconstructed in 1927 (Showa 2).

What visitors say
Situated within Kyoto Imperial Park, this shrine offers a tranquil atmosphere where visitors can enjoy nature throughout the four seasons. A bridge connects to the small island floating in the pond, creating a picturesque scene with autumn leaves reflecting on the water and herons in flight. Goshuin (shrine seal stamps) can be obtained at the nearby Sugawara-in Tenmangu Shrine on days when the shrine office is closed.
