Hiyoshi Taisha sits at the base of Mount Hiei and serves as the head of approximately 3,800 Hiyoshi, Hie, and Sanno shrines across Japan. Its two main halls (Nishi Hongu and Higashi Hongu) are designated National Treasures, featuring the unique 'hiyoshi-zukuri' architectural style found nowhere else. The shrine has deep historical connections with Enryakuji Temple on Mount Hiei. In the Sanno Shinto tradition, the shrine's deities were syncretized with Buddhist figures, creating a rich spiritual complex. The annual Sanno Festival in April is one of the most spectacular shrine festivals in the Kansai region. Monkeys (saru) are considered divine messengers here, as the word 'saru' also means 'to expel,' connecting to the shrine's role in warding off evil.
