About this Shrine

Love and Fertility Shrine in Kyoto's Kiyamachi District, Love and Fertility are closely tied to the Buddhist concept of 'bunmei' (Human-Deity) which emphasized harmony between humans and nature.

Cultural Significance

This shrine is famous for its traditional architecture and vibrant festivals. In spring, it hosts the 'Yuki-yujo-tanabata' festival to celebrate the legend of two lovers separated by fate. The legend says that if you tie your shoelaces together with a thread during the summer solstice and then cut them apart at dawn on July 7th, the lovers will be reunited.
