Mikane-jinja Shrine is a shrine located in Nakagyo-ku, Kyoto City. It is a shrine decorated in gold, including a golden torii gate. As a shrine related to metal, especially money, many ginkgo-leaf-shaped ema (votive plaques) are dedicated here, with people praying for success in asset management, stock trading, and other financial endeavors, as well as for winning in horse racing, keirin (cycle racing), and lotteries. Originally, it was dedicated to metal molds related to architecture, architectural design, shipbuilding, and other construction fields. The "gold" (金) in Mikane refers to metal. The offering is a set of two items: the "Golden Fortune Gold Leaf Goshuin" (a special stamp) and a history booklet (A4 size, three pages). "Golden Fortune Gold Leaf Goshuin" The gold leaf is applied by craftsmen one sheet at a time by hand, so the number of stamps that can be given out each day is limited. The enshrined deity is Kanayamahiko-no-kami, the son of Izanagi and Izanami. He is popular for his blessings related to money, as well as metal items such as swords, blades, and agricultural tools. The sacred ginkgo tree is over 200 years old and is one of the largest trees in Kyoto City. Because ginkgo trees store water within their trunks, they are believed to spew water in case of fire, protecting the gods, the shrine, and the lives of the people. It is said that they never wither in any environment, and are considered a symbol of "prosperity and development" and "longevity." Furthermore, the shape of the leaves spreads in eight directions, representing "increasing prosperity," making them very auspicious.
