Yoshimizu Shrine
吉野町吉野山５７９
Located in Yoshino Town, Nara Prefecture, this shrine is one of the sites included in the UNESCO World Heritage property 'Sacred Sites and Pilgrimage Routes in the Kii Mountain Range'. It features Japan's oldest surviving shoin-style architecture and a famous garden created by Toyotomi Hideyoshi.
History
It is said to have been established during the Hakuhō era by En no Gyōja as Yoshimizu-in, a monk's residence within Kimpu-ji Temple. During the Northern and Southern Courts period, it served as a traveling palace for Emperor Go-Daigo. In the 3rd year of the Bunroku era (1594 CE), it became the main headquarters for Toyotomi Hideyoshi. In the Meiji era, it was reorganized into a shrine in accordance with the separation of Shinto and Buddhism, taking its current name.

What visitors say
The shrine offers special prayers for dogs, including celebrations for their Shichi-Go-San (traditional coming-of-age ceremony) and prayers for health and safety. Amulets and omikuji (fortune slips) specifically for dogs are also available. The grounds are quiet and serene, making them ideal for photography. However, visitors should note that the parking lot can be crowded during the autumn foliage season, and there is a walking distance from the parking area to the shrine.
