Nashiki Shrine - Nashiki Shrine

The shrine is located in Teramachi-dori Hirokojiagaru, Kamigyo-ku, Kyoto City. The deities enshrined are Sanjo Sanetsumu and Sanetomi, father and son. Sanetsumu (1802-1859) assisted Emperor Komei as Minister of the Interior and made great efforts in issues such as the Imperial sanction of treaties and the Shogun's succession at the end of the Edo period, but retired after the Ansei Purge. Sanetomi followed his father's wishes and worked hard to restore imperial authority and expel foreigners from Japan by forming an alliance with Choshu (Yamaguchi Domain). After the Meiji Restoration, he contributed to the new government as a senior official, including as Prime Minister. In 1885 (Meiji 18), a shrine was built on Sanetsumu's former residence and became a special government-sponsored shrine, with Sanetomi being enshrined in 1915 (Taisho 4). The annual festival is held on October 10th.

京都市上京(かみぎょう)区寺町通広小路上ルに鎮座。祭神は三条実万(さねつむ)・実美(さねとみ)父子二柱。実万（1802―59）は、内大臣として孝明(こうめい)天皇を補佐し、幕末の条約勅許・将軍継嗣(けいし)問題等に尽力したが、安政(あんせい)の大獄で落飾退隠。実美は父の遺志を継ぎ、朝権回復・攘夷(じょうい)遂行に長州（山口藩）と提携し尽力。明治維新後は太政(だじょう)大臣など新政府の重臣として貢献した。1885年（明治18）実万の旧邸地に神社を創建、別格官幣社となり、実美は1915年（大正4）に合祀(ごうし)。例祭10月10日。
