Vue d'ensemble

Yoshida Jinja in Kyoto was founded in 859 CE when the Fujiwara clan transplanted their tutelary deities from Kasuga Taisha to the hills of Yoshida. From the late Heian period it became the home of the Yoshida Shinto school, whose theologian Yoshida Kanetomo (1435–1511) systematized a uniquely Japanese interpretation of Shinto that claimed primacy over all other shrines in Japan. The shrine complex includes the rare circular Taigenkyuu hall (1484) and hosts the famous Setsubun festival, one of Kyoto's most beloved seasonal events.
