About Shimogoryo Shrine
Shimogoryo shrine was erected together with Kamigoryo shrine during the Heian period. It is revered as a shrine to protect the imperial court and the capital by fleeing the plague disaster.
This shrine is in the south of the intersection of Teramachi street and Marutamachi street. I had heard the name as such, but it was a smaller shrine than I had expected. The impression was that it was not a showy shrine that would be visited as a tourist destination, but rather a shrine for the visits of neighbors.
There is a pump that pump underground water in this shrine, and the worshippers seem to be able to give the famous water for free. There might be a lot of people who are doing the tea ceremony in this vicinity, and it might be used as water for the tea ceremony.
