Kurumazaki Shrine, Shinto shrine in Ukyō-ku, Japan
Kurumazaki Shrine stands amid 40 different cherry trees, including Taiwan, Kawazu, Yoshino, and Keisen-zakura varieties that bloom from March through spring.
The shrine became dedicated to Kiyohara no Yorinari, a Confucian scholar who served as Senior Secretary of the Council of State until 1189.
The shrine contains a special area dedicated to Ame no Uzume no Mikoto, deity of performing arts, with fence posts displaying names of performers.
Visitors can reach the shrine by taking the Randen Arashiyama Line to Kurumazaki-jinja Station or using the city bus to Kurumazaki-jinja-mae stop.
The shrine earned its name when Emperor Gosaga's oxcart broke down nearby, leading him to grant it the title Kurumazaki-Daimyojin and Senior First Rank status.
