Suika Tenmangu Shrine — Attraction in Kyoto

水難火難除けの神として知られる水火天満宮は，堀川通の拡張によって現在の地へ移されたのが昭和27年でした。社伝によれば，延長元年（923）6月25日に神詫があって菅原道真の神霊を祀ったといいます。 境内にある登天石（とうてんせき）は，菅公の死後，雷火の災が重なったために法性坊尊意が宮中へ祈祷に向かう途中，鴨川が急に増水して渡れません。そこで神剣を捧げて祈願をこめると，水面が二つに割れて石の上から菅公が昇天し，雷雨も止んだという由来をもちます。その一片がこの石だといいます。また、「出世石」は、大願成就、出世する神石として信仰されているそうです。このほか「是より洛中荷馬口付のもの乗へからす」という石標があります。これは堀川頭にあった江戸時代の交通標識で，このあたりから市街地になるので馬から降りて口取をせよというものです。 Suika Tenmangu Shrine, known as the god of water and fire prevention, was moved to its present location in 1952 by the expansion of Horikawa-dori.

When he offered a sacred sword and prayed, the surface of the water split in two, and Sugawara ascended from the top of the stone, and the thunderstorm stopped. A piece of it is called this stone. In addition, it is said that "Seisei stone" is worshiped as a sacred stone that fulfills a great wish and succeeds. In addition, there is a stone mark that says, "I'm going to ride a crow with a Rakuchu packhorse mouth." This is a traffic sign from the Edo period at the head of Horikawa, and since it will be an urban area from this area, get off the...

This is rather small shrine and not something worth going out just to see it, but if you are nearby, by all means. Quiet and tucked away in the middle...
