Enshrined deities

Susanoo-no-Mikoto

History

There are two theories regarding its origin: one states it was founded in 656 CE (Suijin 2) to enshrine Susanoo-no-Mikoto from Mount Ushitora in the Silla Kingdom, while the other suggests it began when the monk Enju built a hall on the site in 876 CE (Sagan 18). It was renamed from Gion Shrine to Yasaka Shrine in the first year of the Meiji era due to the separation of Shinto and Buddhism edict.

What visitors say

This is an out-of-grounds shrine of Yasaka Shrine located along Shijo-dori. During the period from the Gion Festival's Shinko-sai to the Kanki-sai, three mikoshi (portable shrines) are enshrined here, decorated festively with lanterns and candles. Outside of this period, it operates as a souvenir shop. The West Palace and East Palace, designated as Important Cultural Properties, are also notable highlights.
