About this Shrine

Located in the heart of Kyoto, Shibuno Haru no Kami no Miyajidai Shrine is a serene Shinto oasis that honors the kami of the plum blossoms.

Visitors can stroll through the beautifully manicured gardens, adorned with plum trees, and experience the tranquil atmosphere. During spring, the shrine comes alive with the blooming of over 1,000 cherry blossoms and 100 plum trees.
