~Kyoto Prefecture~ Onmyoji Seimei Shrine!

~Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture~ ☑️A shrine for Abe no Seimei, an astronomer from the mid-Heian period! ☑️Founded in 1007. Emperor Ichijo, who praised Seimei's achievements, ordered the construction of a shrine building at the current site, which was the site of Seimei's residence. ☑️It is said that Seimei Shrine was much larger than it is now when it was founded. After the Onin War, its size was reduced due to Toyotomi Hideyoshi's construction of the capital and repeated wars. ☑️Then, in 1950, the precincts facing Horikawa-dori were expanded, and it is now what it is today! ☑️In recent years, Seimei's existence has become widely known through literature, manga, movies, etc., and in 2003, a 1,000th anniversary festival was held. ☑️It is also famous as a power spot that protects Kyoto!
