Matsunoo Taisha, Shinto shrine in Arashiyama, Japan
Matsunoo Taisha sits at the foot of Mount Matsunoo with three separate gardens designed by landscape gardener Shigemori Mirei in 1975.
The Hata clan established this shrine in 701, making it among the earliest religious structures in the Kyoto region of Japan.
The shrine maintains strong connections with sake producers who regularly present offerings of sake barrels and seek blessings for their brewing processes.
Visitors can reach the shrine grounds through Matsuo Station on the Hankyu Arashiyama Line, with general admission free and garden entry at 500 yen.
The Kame-no-ido spring water at the shrine ranks among Japan's top 100 natural water sources and supplies local sake manufacturing.
