Introduction to Rokusonno-jinja shrine
The deity enshrined at Rokusonno Shrine is Minamoto no Tsunemoto. He was the first head of the Seiwa Genji clan, which established a military government. For this reason, it is said to bring prosperity to the family and good fortune in career advancement.
The Sarasvati shrine within the shrine grounds was enshrined above the well where the baby was bathed after birth. It is one of the seven famous springs in Kyoto.
