Mitaka Shrine (Kami-Mitaka Shrine)
京都市上京区上御霊竪町495番地
This historic shrine is deeply revered by the Imperial Family as the protective deity (Ujigami) of the Imperial Palace. In Kyoto, it is affectionately known as 'Kami-Mitaka-san.' It also serves as the tutelary shrine for 13,000 households spanning the Sakyo and Kita wards.
History
平安遷都の際、桓武天皇が平安京の守り神として崇道天皇の御神霊を祀ったのが始まりです。その後、井上内親王らを含む多くの神霊を合祀し、国家守護や都民擁護の崇社として長久に鎮座してきました。また、京都の夏祭りの発祥とされる御霊会もこの神社で勅修されました。
