Mikatsura Taishogami
京都市下京区和気町１４−１２０
This shrine is known as a Ujigami (local tutelary deity) that originated the spirit worship (Goreishinko) in the city of Kyoto and has been widely revered by the Imperial Family, the warrior class, and the citizens of the capital.
History
The shrine began when Emperor Kanmu enshrined the spirit of Emperor Suada as the guardian deity of Heian-kyo during the capital's relocation to the Heian period. Subsequently, many other spirits, including those of Princess Inoue, were co-enshrined. The imperial court ordered the performance of the Goreikai (Ritual for Appeasing Malevolent Spirits) to ward off epidemics, which marked the beginning of imperial patronage for the shrine's enshrined deities. It has long stood as the Ujigami of the Imperial Palace and a shrine protecting the citizens, receiving deep reverence from the Imperial Family and the warrior class.
