[Kyoto Prefecture] Okazaki Shrine - blessed with blessings for fertility, safe childbirth, and matchmaking

Higashitenno Okazaki Shrine, located between Ginkakuji Temple and Heian Shrine in Higashiyama, Kyoto, is a god of fertility and safe childbirth, with two deities and eight deities, three daughters, five sons, and many children. Many prayers for safe childbirth were written on votive plaques. This area was once home to wild rabbits, so rabbits are considered to be the messengers of the local deity. It was a very cute shrine.
