About this place
Shrines called Jishu Shrine are broadly divided as follows. Shrines built to enshrine the local land deity when a shrine or temple was founded. They may be built as auxiliary shrines within a shrine precinct, or stand next to a temple. Most of those next to a temple were originally part of the adjoining temple (a guardian shrine) and became independent through the Meiji-era separation of Shinto and Buddhism. In this case some places read the name 'Jinushi Jinja'. A shrine in Higashiyama Ward, Kyoto.
