About Oharano Shrine

Oharano Shrine

Oharano Shrine is a shrine in Nishikyo-ku, Kyoto City, and is called “Kyoto Kasuga” too.

When the Kanmu emperor moved the capital to Nagaokakyo in 784, Fujiwara-no-otomuro, who is the empress of the Kanmu emperor, recommended the division of a shrine’s tutelary deity of Nara Kasuga Shrine which is Mr.Fujiwara’s guardian god, she worshiped tutelary deity in Oharano where she often went hunting with a falcon.

Oharano Shrine has been collecting faith as the Guardian God of the woman who has been giving the so as the god of Politics, Katayoke, and wisdom for a long while.

Geographically, it is adjacent to the Shoji Temple (Flower temple), so I think it is good to be strolling together.

Kyoto Rakusai bamboo forest park

Kyoto City's western New town is also known as a new town surrounded by bamboo, located in the Oeda and Oharano of the bamboo region. However, because a lot of bamboo was cut down by the construction of the new town, the Bamboo Grove Park was opened hearing the voice of actively saving the remaining bamboo grove.
