🌸🌺The plum blossoms are here, the plum blossoms are here! 🌺🌸

⛩️🌸⛩️Absolutely stunning day spent at the beautiful Jōnan-Gū Shrine for the start of the plum blossoms blooming in all their glory. A lovely shrine located in southern Kyoto, Jōnangū is a lovely getaway from the more crowded shrines and temples in in the city center. Said to trace its history back to the 8th century, Jōnangū claims to have been founded when the capital was moved to Kyoto by Emperor Kanmu in 794. Enshrining three deities, (Kuni no Tokotachi no Mikoto, Ōkuninushi no Mikoto, and Empress Consort Jingū), under the worship of Jōnan Ōkami, the shrine served to protect the capital from malign influences and to pray for the prosperity of the country ⛩️🌸⛩️
