Established in 869, Suga Shrine has a rich history. It’s nestled in the heart of Kyoto, in the Sakyo Ward. Suga Shrine, or as it’s known locally, Yomgijinja, was once a grand estate, comparable to the prestigious Nishitenno Shrine. Initially, Suga Shrine was located near the present-day Heian Shrine, but conflict during the Jokyu era forced its relocation to Mount Yoshida. Suga Shrine eventually found its permanent home in its present location in 1924. The enshrined deities at Suga Shrine are Takehayasusanoonomikoto and Kushinadahime no Mikoto. The shrine is also known for its Setsubun Festival, held annually on the second Sunday of May. In 1964, the Kotsu Shrine, dedicated to traffic safety, was established within the Suga Shrine grounds. This newer shrine houses deities like Kunadonokami, Yachimatahiko no Mikoto, and Yachimatahime no Mikoto, further solidifying Suga Shrine as a place of diverse worship and historical significance.
