About this Shrine

High Sugi Shrine, located in the heart of Kyoto, is a No-Meikō Shinto shrine dedicated to Suiji, a kami believed to reside within the sacred tree on the grounds. The shrine's architecture reflects its historical significance as a major stopping point for travelers along the ancient Nakagawa River Route.

Cultural Significance

High Sugi Shrine is associated with the mythology of the Shinmei-ki, an ancient Japanese text detailing the exploits of the god Suiji. The shrine's annual Festival of Luminous Lights (Tobira-matsuri) in autumn commemorates the god's benevolence and protection.
