Hiyoshi Taisha Shrine is the main shrine of the Sanno Festival, which has more than 3,800 branch shrines around the country. It is home to the guardian diety of the Tendai sect of ancient Kyoto. The vast temple grounds contain close to 40 shrines as well as the east and west halls, which have been designated as national historical landmarks and contain many cultural properties.

Hiyoshi Taisha Shrine is considered vital in warding off evil spirits due to its monkey diety Masaru. Originally, many monkeys lived on Mt.

The name “Masaru” comes from the Japanese phrase for expelling evil spirits, and the monkey itself is known for its good luck. Masaru offers protection and answers prayers of victory and success.
