Seimei Shrine

〒464-0087 愛知県名古屋市千種区清明山1丁目6

4.2(472)

A shrine enshrining Abe no Seimei, a famous Onmyoji (master of Yin-Yang arts). It is associated with various legends, including the extermination of venomous snakes and the belief that petting the Komainu (lion-dog statues) brings health benefits.

History

Legend holds that when Abe no Seimei once resided in this area, he used his magical arts to drive away venomous snakes. During the Edo period, villagers troubled again by snake infestations invited Seimei's spirit to the site and erected a mound and a small altar. In 1957, residents constructed the main hall and torii gate, formally establishing the shrine.
