History
This shrine, enshrined in the northeast of Kyoto Gosho, is said to have been invited from Miyajima in Aki Province. It shares deep connections with Tatsuta Taisha. In ancient Kyoto, it has been a spiritual place visited by countless pilgrims. Dedicated to Benzaiten, it presides over the blessings of water and the path of language. The vermilion torii gate has watched over countless seasons.
