Tatsumi-jinja Shrine (Tatsumi Dai-myojin) — Local services in Kyoto

Gion Tatsumi Shrine, located in the Gion District of Kyoto, is a Shinto shrine dedicated to the deity Sarutahiko Okami. The shrine is believed to have been founded in the 9th century, and is one of the oldest and most respected shrines in the city.

The main hall of Gion Tatsumi Shrine was rebuilt in 1933, and features traditional Japanese architecture with a red and white color scheme. The shrine's grounds are surrounded by a beautiful garden, which is particularly stunning during cherry blossom season in the spring.

One of the shrine's most famous features is its stone torii gate, which is said to have been donated by the famous samurai warrior Toyotomi Hideyoshi in the late 16th century. The gate is an iconic symbol of the shrine and is frequently photographed by visitors.

Gion Tatsumi Shrine is also known for its role in the Gion Festival, one of Kyoto's most famous traditional festivals held annually in July. The shrine's mikoshi, or portable shrine, is paraded through the streets during the festival along with those from other nearby shrines.

Visitors to Gion Tatsumi Shrine can also participate in traditional Shinto rituals, such as offering prayers and purchasing amulets and charms. The shrine's serene atmosphere and rich history make it a popular destination for both locals and tourists alike.

Overall, Gion Tatsumi Shrine is a must-visit destination for anyone interested in traditional Japanese culture and history. Its beautiful architecture, stunning gardens, and connection to the famous Gion Festival make it a truly unique and memorable...

Tatsumi-jinja Shrine is a cute little shrine, in the heart of downtown Kyoto, just in the clearing past the alleyways. You can't miss it! Give your prayers here, admire the flora and greenery, as well as the small stream nearby. I find it gets quite busy in the afternoon due to tourists, but it's a good place to stop by if you're visiting the area. I suggest coming by in the morning to avoid crowds, so you can get a full view of the area as well as pics. You can't...

文化背景:辰己神社，又稱辰巳大明神，位於京都御苑的東南方，因此得名「辰己」。 傳說中，這裡原本是祇園白川一帶，一隻喜歡惡作劇的狸貓（たぬき）出沒的地方，當地居民為了制止牠的騷擾，便立了這座神社祭拜狸貓，希望牠能停止惡作劇。 另一個說法是，神社原本是為了守護京都御苑的東南方而建立，後來居民將其與祇園地區的信仰結合，特別是藝伎和舞妓前來祈求才藝精進。 以下是更詳細的解釋： 地理位置與名稱由來: 辰己神社位於京都御苑的辰巳（東南方）方位，因此得名。 狸貓的傳說: 傳說辰己神社所在地曾有狸貓作祟，居民為了制止其惡作劇，便建造神社祭拜，希望牠能停止騷擾。 藝伎與舞妓的信仰: 由於神社靠近祇園白川，也與當地藝伎和舞妓的信仰有所連結，她們會前來祈求在才藝上有所精進。 其他說法: 神社也可能最初是為了守護京都御苑的東南方而建立，後來才與狸貓和藝伎的傳說結合。 辰巳神社 位於京都御所的辰巳方向（東南方），該神社被稱為「辰巳大明神」，原本是守護東南方的神社。也因為坐落於祇園白川的岸邊，深受祇園地區居民的信仰，特別是希望在藝技方面有所精進的藝妓和舞妓常常前來祈禱。這座神社也被稱為「祇園的稻荷神」，其祭神是狸貓（たぬき）。據說，這源於曾經住在這一帶的狸貓常常惡作劇，讓人們困擾不已。後來，人們立了一座祭祀狸貓的小祠，從此狸貓的惡作劇就消失了。 白川通起源江戶時代，1670年鴨川建築堤防工程而誕生的新町，與弁財天町等等的合稱「祇園外六町」，1713年元吉町等等的「祇園內六町」，正式取得茶屋營業許可，江戶末期花街盛極及繁榮，茶屋高達500間，藝妓、舞妓、娼妓1000多人以上。

祇園白川歌碑，紀念詩人吉井 勇　(よしい いさむ)(1886-1960)祖父明治維新時期功臣而被封爵，吉井勇出生東京，身為名門之後，詩歌、戲曲、小說、歌謠涉獵廣泛，頹廢浪漫派詩人， 1945（昭和20）起的三年左右，他與夫人孝子居住八幡的寶青庵（紅葉寺），這段期間他在松花堂與志賀直哉、梅原龍三郎等作家、藝術家交好。

戰後文學恢復自由創作風氣，吉川勇創作靈感源源不絕而踴躍投稿，出版不少小說歌集，1954年（昭和29）獲得文部省藝術祭獎，達到文壇詩歌地位的巔峰，歌集「殘夢」收錄五百多首吟詠八幡風土民情，以及八幡音頭為作詞。

至今「八幡吉井」的地名就是當地居民為感謝紀念而命名，至今可見歌人在此佇足吟詠的歲月，他深愛京都，特別喜愛流連祇園，與茶屋藝妓磯田多佳女(...
