What is Kurumazaki Shrine?
Kurumazaki Shrine is a temple located in Arashiyama, Kyoto.
The "Entertainment Shrine" in Kurumazaki Shrine is famous, and you can see the names of a wide range of people from famous singers to anime characters.
This time, I will introduce the charm of Kurumazaki Shrine.
The deity of the main shrine is Kiyohara no Yorinari
The Confucian scholar of the Heian period, Kiyohara no Yorin, is enshrined at Kurumazaki Shrine.
There are mainly benefits of good luck, good luck, and academics, but the shadow is undeniable because the entertainment shrine in the precincts is more famous.
It seems that the official website, which is full of handmade feeling, has not been touched so much, but let's visit the main shrine properly.

Entertainment shrine in the precincts
It is an entertainment shrine on the premises of Kurumazaki Shrine.
One of the reasons why the entertainment shrine became famous is the dedication of Tamagaki by celebrities.
What is Tamagaki?
Tamagaki is a fence that surrounds the shrine.
The deity is Tianyu (Ame no Uzume no Mikoto)
What is enshrined at the entertainment shrine is "Ame no Uzume no Mikoto".
When Amaterasu Omikami, the sun god, withdrew into the heavenly Iwato, he became the god who danced and invited him outside. (The dance at that time is called Kagura)
It is said to be the oldest dancer in Japan, so there is no better candidate as a god who controls performing arts.
More than 4000 Tamagaki posted
At the entertainment shrine, you can dedicate a named Tamagaki for 13000 yen.
It will only be posted for two years, but since many celebrities dedicate it, nearly 4000 Tamagaki are always displayed.
Although it is a part of the precincts, such a wall continues forever.
It doesn't fit in the precincts, and it's out to the parking lot, so it takes a lot of time to look around all of them.
There are not only real people but also anime characters.
The characters of the jump manga "One Piece", but the point next to them is Yoshikazu Ebisu, which is a high point personally.
You can also see the names of everyone involved in the performing arts, from actors to singers, entertainers and anime characters.
Travel time is 15 to 60 minutes
It's a small temple, so it takes less than 15 minutes to go around.
But when I start looking for "what kind of person is there?", A considerable amount of time passes.
It's hard to get bored because the names you know are coming out one after another.

Arashiyama Station-Kurumazaki Shrine is about a 15-minute walk (1.2km), so I think it's okay to walk from Arashiyama Station except in the summer.

Finally
The entertainment shrine is just a place where the Tamagaki with the name written on it is exhibited, but it is deeply moving to think that the people themselves came here. (Unrelated, third party dedication is prohibited)
Many people take pictures with the names of their favorite entertainers, so be sure to find your favorite Tamagaki.
The bulletin board is for two years, so it might be interesting to go there regularly.
