Seimei Shrine, Kyoto!

Take the Karasuma Line, get off at Imadegawa Station and walk for more than ten minutes to reach Seimei Shrine. Seimei Shrine is located in Seimei-cho, Kamigyo-ku, Kyoto City. The shrine enshrines Abe no Haruaki, the man in whose name Seimei died in 1005. Emperor Ichijo ordered the remains of Seimei's residence to be built into Seimei Shrine. The shrine was originally very large, but it gradually shrank due to war and Toyotomi Hideyoshi's urban development, and the temple was almost deserted. After the end of the shogunate, Harume's descendants renovated the shrine and courtyards, and the main buildings were restored in 1925. In 1950, Horikawa-dori was expanded to the interior of the shrine. In recent years, with the Abe Haruaki craze brought about by the Onmyoji series of anime and movies, Seimei Shrine has welcomed many tourists. The structures in the shrine include the main hall, the worship place, the statue of Abe no Haruaki, the office, the ema ya, the shikigami statue, the sacred tree, the peach that wards off bad luck, and the Seimei well (to the north of the main hall there is a well called Seimei well. The water that gushes out of this well is called Seimei water. It is said to be the spiritual power of Seimei's Onmyoji and is said to have the benefit of preventing illness and warding off disasters) I bought a five-pointed star amulet from Seimei Shrine and a red leaf bell that is only sold in autumn as a souvenir.
