Kenkun Shrine, a shrine related to Oda Nobunaga

If you're a fan of Oda Nobunaga, you'll want to visit! Kenkun Shrine Founded on Mt. Funaoka in 1869 by Emperor Meiji to honor the achievements of Oda Nobunaga. The deity enshrined is actually Nobunaga himself. It's about 100m above sea level, so the stairs going up and down are a bit difficult. The head priest is very friendly and will tell you some very interesting stories. Please go and get a goshuin and talk to the head priest. There are also many types of goshuin, from those of Nobunaga himself to those related to Touken Ranbu. There are even those of his retainers, so those who are knowledgeable about Sengoku warlords will surely be delighted. ■Location 49 Kitafunaoka-cho, Murasakino, Kita-ku, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture ■Visiting hours 9:00-17:00 ■Access 5 minutes by car or 30 minutes on foot from Kitano-Hakubai-cho on the Arashiyama Electric Railway 20 minutes on foot from Kinkaku-ji Temple #Kyoto sightseeing #Kyoto trip #Kyoto #Shrines and temples #Temple tour #Shrine tour #Temple stamp #Kenkun Shrine #Oda Nobunaga #Warlords of the Sengoku Period
