[Kyoto Prefecture/Matsuo Taisha] A shrine where the god of sake brewing is enshrined

Matsuo Taisha Shrine protects the west of Heian-kyo. It is known as a shrine that enshrines the god of sake. In the grounds, there are many sake barrels that were donated not only from Kyoto, but from all over the country. In addition, turtles and carp are considered to be messengers of the gods, and these can also be seen throughout the grounds. When Matsuo-no-Okami opened the Hozukyo Gorge, it is said that he rode on the back of a carp to travel up the rapids and a turtle to travel up the gentle currents. Other famous springs include Reikame-no-taki Falls and Kamenoi Well, and it seems that many people come to Kamenoi Well to collect water. ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ ❥❥ Matsuo Taisha Shrine 🚉Matsuo Taisha Station → 🚶‍♀️About 6 minutes walk ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ #Matsuo Taisha Shrine #Shrine #Domestic Travel #Kyoto Travel #Kyoto Sightseeing
