What visitors say
Located in a prominent spot within walking distance from Marutamachi Station on the Keihan Line, it is known as the chief guardian shrine of Shogo-in's Yatsuhashi (a traditional Kyoto sweet). It enshrines the Yatagarasu (eight-legged crow), a symbol associated with soccer, and offers a wide variety of soccer-related omamori (amulets). The precincts have a calm atmosphere, and services for Goshuin (calligraphic seal stamps) remain available, along with continued faith in its role as a fire-prevention deity.
