When we went to Arashiyama we walked past Nonomiya-jinja which is located in the bamboo forest. This shrine has a long history and is referred to in The Tale of Genji written 1000 years ago by a court lady called Murasaki Shikibu. There was a long queue of women waiting to pray. This is because several gods are enshrined here, one of which is the god good match and marriage.
