Kurumazaki-Jinja Shrine

車折神社

Description

Kurumazaki-Jinja Shrine worships the Heian period confucianist Yorinari Kiyohara. The name Kurumazaki comes from a story where an axle of the oxcart pulling Emperor Go-Saga broke just in front of the shrine and wouldn’t move. It is said that if you purchase one of the “Kinen Shinseki” stones from the shrine and carry it with you daily, you will have good luck in with money and matchmaking.
