Wakamiya Hachiman-gu

Known locally as Toki Shrine, the Wakamiya Hachimangu is located near Gojo which is a little south of Gion in the Higashiyama district of Kyoto.
This is the heart of the old pottery district, and in August the Kyoto Gojozaka Ceramic Festival is held at the shrine with stalls along the street in front.

The primary kami is Hachiman, now equated with the legendary Emperor Ojin, and also includes his mother Jingu and father Chuai. There are other secondary shrines, including one to Inari.

There is also a Touso Shrine, enshrining the famous Shikoku potter Toushiro. 

The shrine was originally built some miles to the west in 1053 and was moved to its current location in 1605

Visitors come here to pray for an easy delivery, and to ward off evil.
