That shrine will bring you benefits

#aprilblooms It was built about 2,100 years ago at the foot of Mt. Hiei, and is the main shrine of 3,800 Hiyoshi, Hieda, and Sanno Shrines nationwide. Since it is located in Omotegimon (northeast) from the capital at that time, it is believed as a shrine to prevent disasters and as a shrine to prevent disasters, and as the guardian deity of Enryaku-ji Temple on Mt. Hiei, which is nearby. The benefits are "ward off" that prevents disasters related to direction, and "bad luck" that prevents disasters in life in advance. In the precincts, which are divided into two areas, Higashihongu and Nishihongu, there are nearly 40 shrines that enshrine various gods, and all gods are collectively called "Hiyoshi Omikami". In addition, both Higashi Hongu and Nishihongu are designated as national treasures in a special architectural style called Hiyoshi-zukuri, and you can visit buildings designated as important cultural properties.
