Nonomiya Shrine

Nonomiya Shrine (野宮神社, Nonomiya-jinja), or the Shrine in the Country,[1] is a Shinto shrine in the Arashiyama district on the west side of the city of Kyoto in Kyoto prefecture, Japan, close to its bamboo forest. The specific site of the shrine changed somewhat over time, as the location of the shrine was fixed anew by divination when a new imperial priestess was to undergo purification before traveling to take up her duties at Ise Shrine.[2]
