  1. Kifune-jinja (貴船神社) is located in the village of Kibune (貴船). Although they use the same characters in their names, the shrine now employs the pronunciation 'kifune' as as means to distinguish the sacred from the mundane...a sound with a better feel for the water deities.

  7. Tamayori-hime enshrined the deity of water, Takaokami (高龗神), at the spring. To ensure no mortal eyes looked upon her sacred boat she buried it beneath rocks, and the shrine was later constructed above it.

  12. Kifune-jinja's foundation date is unclear, but its origins began with the arrival of Tamayori-hime (玉依毘売命), the divine mother of Emperor Jimmu, Japan's first emperor.

    She sailed up the Yodo-gawa and Kamo-gawa rivers on a yellow boat, until she came upon a spring in the mountains.

  23. During the height of summer the temperatures in Kibune can be 10 degrees cooler than the heart of the city.

    fresh green-
    there are few people
    in Kibune village
    新緑や人の少なき貴船村 
    -Sōha (波多野爽波).

    For a thousand years Kyōtoites have escaped to Kibune (貴船) when the city heat becomes unbearable. Because of this the village is known as Kyōto's living room.

  31. The image of the mountain slopes bejeweled with blossoms earned it the springtime name 'Kibune Uzu' (貴船雲珠).

    'Uzu' is a crupper ornament, often found on Chinese-style ritual saddles of the Heian period. Kurama (鞍馬) means 'Saddle Mountain', thus the sakura were its 'uzu'.

    Kifune-jinja (貴船神社), nestled in the mountains north of Kyōto, is home to the god of rain. Horses were famously gifted to the shrine in an attempt to alter the weather.
