Yodo Shrine is a [[Shinto shrine]] near the former site of [[Yodo castle]], in what is today part of [[Fushimi|Fushimi-ku]], [[Kyoto]] City. The shrine was long associated with guardian deities for safe transportation along the nearby [[Katsuragawa]] river.
According to local legend, the shrine was established in the early 640s by a monk named Senkannaigu<!--千観内供-->, who transferred the deity Yodo daimyôjin from a shrine in Kawakami village, [[Hizen province]] (today, [[Saga prefecture]]).
The shrine was relocated to its current site in [[1900]] in conjunction with riverworks projects undertaken at the time.
The ''haiden'' (worship hall) dates to [[1607]] and has been designated an [[Important Cultural Property]]. The site includes a number of other small shrine buildings dedicated to various deities.
