Mio Shrine
〒520-0036 滋賀県大津市園城寺町２５１
This shrine serves as the guardian shrine (Chinju-sha) of the Southern Courtyard of Onjo-ji Temple and enshrines Mio Myojin, a deity who uses rabbits as messengers.
History
According to legend, Izanagi-no-Mikoto descended upon the summit of Mount Chotoku. Because the three belts at his waist resembled tails, he came to be known as Mio Myojin. In the first year of the Jogan era (859 CE), Enchin enshrined him as the guardian deity of Onjo-ji Temple. During the Meiji period, the shrine grounds were relocated, and it became an independent entity named Mio Shrine. The current main hall (Honden) was rebuilt in the 33rd year of the Oei era (1426 CE) by Ashikaga Yoshimochi.
