History
Enshrined within the Kyoto Imperial Palace grounds, this shrine has served as guardian of the imperial household through ages. Situated in a place brimming with pure spiritual energy, it purifies malevolent influences and cleanses heart and body. Enveloped by verdant gardens of the palace grounds, pilgrimage here naturally elevates the spirit. Witnessing the passage of time, it continues to receive steadfast prayers unchanged.
