Yuki Shrine, Shinto shrine in Sakyō-ku, Japan
The Yuki Shrine features traditional kakezukuri architecture, with buildings elevated on stilts and a main hall divided by a central corridor.
Founded in 940 AD, the shrine relocated from the Imperial Palace following an earthquake, becoming a guardian structure for the Kurama region.
The Kurama Fire Festival takes place at Yuki Shrine each October 22, where participants carry large torches made from Kamo River reeds.
Located near Kurama Station, the shrine welcomes visitors throughout the year without charging an entrance fee to explore its sacred grounds.
A stone guard dog statue, certified as an Important Cultural Property, holds a child in its grasp, representing protection for childbirth.
