About this Shrine

Asashiro-jinja Shrine is a Shinto shrine located in Kyoto, dedicated to the god of war and fate, Amaterasu. The shrine's architecture reflects its historical significance as a military stronghold, with a unique torii gate. In Kyoto, few shrines rival Asashiro-jinja's grandeur, which has maintained many traditional features despite being founded over 1,100 years ago.

Cultural Significance

As one of Kyoto's oldest shrines, Asashiro-jinja is closely associated with the city's rich military history. Locals often pray for protection and good fortune during special occasions such as New Year's (Oshogatsu) and Girls' Day (Hinamatsuri).
