Uji Shrine, famous as the Rabbit Shrine

The first torii gate you can see when heading towards Uji Shrine from Asagiri Bridge.。Image that it is much smaller than expected

There are 4 types of Goshuin。I received the Goshuin stamps ① and ②.。After all, it would be better to have it written directly on the Goshuin book.、I also really wanted to get the rabbit stamp.。

By the way, even though it was a rainy day, there was a line of goshuin stamps.。I think there are usually longer lines, so I think it's a good idea to set aside some time for sightseeing.。

This is a worship hall named Kirihara-dono.。Go through the torii gate in the back and head to the main shrine.。

Main shrine torii。Although it is a small shrine, it is famous and attracts many tourists.、It was difficult to take photos when no one was around.。

Main shrine designated as a national important cultural property。It seems to have been built in the early Kamakura period.。There seems to be a wooden statue of Udo Chiroko no Mikoto inside.。

From the front just in case。After bowing twice and clapping once, we leave the main shrine.。

There was a picture of a rabbit drawn on the lantern in the shrine grounds 🐇

Many shrines were placed near the back entrance.。With this, we will leave Uji Shrine.。
