Kamigoryo Shrine is a shrine located in Kamigoryo-tate-machi, Kamigyo-ku, Kyoto City. The name Kamigoryo Shrine corresponds to Shimogoryo Shrine, and its official name as a religious corporation is currently "Goryo Shrine." Originally, in the era of Emperor Kanmu, epidemics were prevalent in various places. It was believed that this was due to the curse of the spirits, and in 794 (Enryaku 13), the spirit of Prince Sawara (Emperor Sudo) was enshrined here, which is said to be the beginning. The "Goryo no Mori" (Forest of Spirits) within the shrine grounds is the place where the Onin War began. The following four items are provided: 1. Special Goshuin (shrine stamp) 2.

Afterwards, seven deities were enshrined, including Emperors Ninmyo and Seiwa, and in 863 (Jogan 5), the Goryo-e (spirit festival) for warding off evil spirits was held by imperial order. It gathered the respect of the court and the people as a shrine protecting the nation, the Imperial family, and the citizens of the capital. On the festival day of May 18th, there is a procession of Hoko (floats), Mikoshi (portable shrines), and Gosho-guruma (ox-drawn carriages). Long ago, to avoid curses and disasters, festivals to appease the souls of the dead (especially vengeful spirits), that is, Goryo-chin-sai (spirit appeasement festivals), were held in various places. From the Nara period to the Heian period (710-1192), it became even more popular, especially in the capital, and this shrine also began with such origins. It was formerly called Goryo Hassho Shrine, but was renamed Goryo Shrine in 1923. It is popularly known as "Hata no Inari" (Inari of the Field), and in 1710 (Hoei 7), it was moved from Ueno when the Onrin-ji-miya's Okakure-den (hidden palace) was built here.
