The Nonomiya-jinja Shrine is a Shinto shrine. Because of its nature as a native faith in Japan, it differs quite significantly from the elaborate temples of Arashiyama, both in terms of its history and its ambience. Yet, as a Shinto shrine, the Nonomiya-jinja Shrine had a very specific and unique role in imperial history as well. The Nonomiya Shrine comes from the Heian period. It served as the venue of a religious practice in antiquity, “successive imperial princesses stayed in the Nonomiya Shrine for a year or more to purify themselves before becoming representatives of the imperial family at the Ise Shrine in Mie prefecture.” (Wikipedia on Nonomiya Shrine). These imperial priestesses were called Saigu. At the time of founding, the Nonomiya Shrine served Princess Ninshi, a daughter of Emperor Saga, who served as Saigu from 809 to 903 A.D. at Ise Jingu, which was the most important shrine in the country. As Saigu, the princess carried out rituals and offerings, and I assume that meant she was the religious ambassador to pray on behalf of her country. In classic 11th century Japanese literature, the Tale of Genji, which is said by some to be the world’s first novel, has a chapter set in the Nomomiya Shrine. The plot involves the love story between Prince Genji and Lady Rokujo. Lady Rokujo accompanied her daughter to the shrine for purification rites, and as she met her lover Prince Genji here, they bid farewell by the moonlight in this beautiful setting amidst the bamboo woods in Arashiyama. #nonomiyashrine #arashiyama #kyoto #japan #japanhistory #shinto #shintoshrine #literature #redfoliage

⛩️ Nonomiya Shrine 📌 1 Sagatenryuji Tateishicho, Ukyo Ward, Kyoto, 616-8375 Japan It's right before Arashiyama Chikurin Bamboo Forest. At first, I was captivated by the completely Japanese-style train tracks you can see in the last photo, but when I looked at the train tracks🛤️, they were right on the left. People were busy going to Chikurin, so not many people went there, but I visited around 10 AM and was able to take lots of pretty ❤️❤️❤️ pictures. Nonomiya Shrine⛩️ is known to bring good relationships👩❤️👨! You can definitely see it on the way to Chikurin! Don't pass it by and definitely visit! The atmosphere is different from other shrines. It's really beautiful. Even the moss on the trees is totally~! Japanese🇯🇵-like. It's next to Chikurin, so the atmosphere is friendly with nature and has a completely different atmosphere from other shrines in Kyoto. I'm already a married woman🧏♀️, so I didn't pray for love, but ㅋㅋ when I visited, there were many women wearing Japanese kimonos praying for something. I saw 💖 inside the shrine and thought it was a place where men and women come together to pray for love. The shrine is very small and not very big, but it has a wonderful atmosphere, so it's worth visiting while passing by! Especially, be sure to look at the train tracks🛤️ at the entrance of the shrine. Pray for love in front of the heart. 👏 May everyone's love come true. 🙏 It's a place that would be really pretty if a boyfriend or girlfriend visited in a kimono~! However, there are a lot of people after 12 PM. 😳 #Nonomiya Shrine #On the way to Arashiyama #Kyoto travel #Kyoto travel course #Japan travel #Kyoto shrine #Kyoto hot place #On the way to Chikurin

The moment you enter the shrine grounds, you will feel as if you have traveled back in time. ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ ꕥShrine name: Nonomiya Shrine ꕥAddress: 1 Saga Nonomiya-cho, Ukyo-ku, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture ꕥAccess: 🚉 Saga Arashiyama Station → approx. 10-minute walk ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ #0 yen travel autumn #Nonomiya Shrine #Kyoto #Kyoto sightseeing #Kyoto trip #Shrine #Shrine tour #Shrine worship #Shrine lover

⛩️Nonomiya Shrine (ののみやじんじゃ) is derived from "Nonomiya". According to legend, every time the emperor changes, the court will select one unmarried royal woman to replace the emperor to perform the priest work at Ise Shrine. She is called "Saiou" (Saiou).

#Japan and Korea Springtime Destinations As soon as you enter the shrine's approach, it feels like you are stepping into a dream corridor. On both sides of the approach to the shrine stood rows of towering Somei Yoshino cherry trees in full bloom, painting the entire hundreds-meter-long path a brilliant pink. There is a thick carpet of flowers under your feet, and in the distance is a flower tunnel surrounded by pink clouds. As the breeze blows, cherry blossoms fly everywhere, as if you are in a romantic and beautiful painting. When you reach the central gate of the shrine, you will arrive at the area where the cherry blossoms are most densely blooming. There are wood storage ponds and many ancient shrines here. Surrounded by bright cherry blossom clouds, it is like a pink and dreamy garden palace. The cherry blossoms and ancient buildings complement each other, creating a unique beauty. Occasionally, local residents wear kimonos and have picnics here to enjoy the cherry blossoms, adding to the charm of the ancient capital. Whenever this season comes, Nonomiya Shrine is always flooded with tourists who come here to enjoy the cherry blossoms. Although the journey is long, the superb cherry blossom scenery is definitely unforgettable. This dream garden deep in the mountains is one of the most beautiful places in Japan that is worth savoring.

Osaka Bamboo Forest This forest is unique for me as it is full of bamboo instead of trees. I found there are 2 parts, in the beginning path the bamboo has lighter colours and walk further it looks thickers and darker colours. Really nice that we see a wide area full with bamboo. Inside the forest there is a temple that can pay a visit. We learnt from the local on the prayers step which is interesting. Another relax place to walk around and photos. #wintergetaway #wintergetaway
