The cache is placed in Matsunoo Taisha Shrine.
This shrine was built in 701 by Hata Clan whose root had lived in Korean peninsula. After The Capital moved to Heian-kyo (old name of Kyoto), this shrine was worshipped as a guardian of The Imperial Palace.
The origin of this shrine is thought that a god stayed in a great rock near the top of Mt. Matsuo, which was enshrined by local people, and the spirit was invited to this shrine when it was built. Today Mt. Matsuo is still thought a sanctuary and a special permission is required to enter the area.
The shrine owns many important cultural heritages including the main building.

キャッシュは松尾大社に隠されています。
松尾大社は701年、渡来人系の秦氏によって建てられました。古代には秦氏の氏神であり、平安遷都後は皇城鎮護の神として信仰を集めました。元々は松尾山の巨岩に宿った神であるとされ、それが現在の場所に勧請されたといいます。現在でも松尾山は聖域とされ、立ち入りには神社で特別の許可を貰う必要があります。
本殿を含め、数々の重要文化財を有します。
