Okazaki Shrine

岡崎神社

👀 SEE

Also known as Usagi Jinja, Rabbit Shrine

A small shrine a short walk from Heian Jingu, quietly dedicated to rabbits — statues, rabbit-shaped ema wooden plaques, rabbit omikuji holders, the whole set. Loved by people trying for children and by anyone tired of the big-hitter Higashiyama temples.

Type shrine, quirky, hidden spot
💡 Local tip
  • Pair with Heian Jingu or Philosopher's Path — it's right between them and almost always empty.
