Yuki Shrine, a guardian shrine of Kurama-dera Temple, has long been revered by the people. The serene sanctuary nestled in a quiet forest offers a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of the city.
Overview
Yuki Shrine is a shrine located in Kurama Honmachi, Sakyo-ku, Kyoto City. Commonly known as "Yuki Myojin," it was established during the Heian period as the guardian shrine of Kurama-dera Temple. The enshrined deities are Ōmono-nushi-no-kami and Sukuna-hikona-no-kami, believed to bestow blessings of protection from misfortune and good fortune. It is particularly known for its benefits in business prosperity and career success. Since Yuki Shrine is located within the grounds of Kurama-dera Temple, an entrance fee to Kurama-dera is required. However, the shrine grounds are open to the public free of charge, offering a beautiful and peaceful forest setting. The main hall of Yuki Shrine, a *warihaiden* (divided main hall) rebuilt by Hideyori Toyotomi, is designated as an Important Cultural Property. The grounds also include other shrines such as Sanpo Ara Jinja, Hakuchō Benzaiten-sha, Kanja-sha, Iwagami-sha, Ōsugi-sha, and Hachiman-gū.
