Fujinomori Shrine, Shinto shrine in Fushimi-ku, Japan

Fujinomori Shrine is a Shinto site in Fushimi-ku with a main hall featuring a rake-overhanging gabled roof. The inner sanctuary divides into three sections housing multiple deities, including Susanoo, Emperor Ojin, and Empress Jingu.

Empress Jingu founded the site roughly 1,800 years ago as a place where she raised battle flags and dedicated military equipment. The present main building with its particular roof style was later designated an Important Cultural Property.

The shrine's name refers to the wisteria grove where Empress Jingu was said to have raised her banners. The Treasure Hall keeps the purple-corded armour, an Important Cultural Property designated in 1954, alongside copies of the swords Tsurumaru and Ichigo Hitofuri. Horsemen and racing fans leave votive plaques of racehorses, and students pray here because Prince Toneri, compiler of the Nihon Shoki, is enshrined.

The shrine is about an eight-minute walk from JR Fujimori Station on the Nara Line or Sumizome Station on the Keihan Main Line; Fujimori Station on the Keihan line is farther away. The grounds are entered through torii gates, with the worship hall and main sanctuary ahead and the hydrangea gardens open from June into early July.

Every May 5th the Kakeuma Shinji festival takes place, with skilled riders performing tricks on horseback along the path. The display is one of the few occasions in Kyoto when visitors can watch traditional Japanese horsemanship in action.
