[Kyoto Prefecture] Shiramine Shrine, where the god of sports is enshrined

The deities enshrined here are Emperor Sutoku, the 75th emperor, and Emperor Junnin, the 47th emperor. In addition, Seidaimyojin is enshrined as the guardian deity of "mari". Seidaimyojin is worshiped as the "god of mari" because he was the head of the kemari and waka poetry. People who pray for improvement in ball games and sports such as soccer and rugby visit the shrine. It seems that many students come here, especially during the spring and autumn school trip season and before tournaments.
