Vue d'ensemble

Oharano Jinja in Kyoto was established in 784 CE when Emperor Kanmu moved the capital to Nagaoka-kyo, transplanting the Fujiwara clan's tutelary deities from Kasuga Taisha in Nara to a site near the new capital. Known as "Kyo no Kasuga" (Kasuga of Kyoto), the shrine served as the spiritual patron of the powerful Fujiwara family throughout the Heian period and enshrines the same four deities as Kasuga Grand Shrine, including Takemikazuchi-no-Mikoto and Ame-no-Koyane-no-Mikoto.
