Iwashmizu Hachimangu Shrine is one of the most famous Shinto Shrines in Kyoto.

Yukio Wada a member of The World Peace Prayer Society in Kyoto contacted  Mr. Nishi, Headmaster of the Iwashimizu Hachimangu  Shrine, to offer a World Peace Prayer Ceremony (WPPC)  in honor of the International Day of Peace.   Mr. Nishi kindly accepted their offer.

On the day prior to the WPPC, more than seventy people from Kyoto area and Tokyo gathered for an official prayer meeting which embodied the main shrine.  They reported that the atmosphere of the shrine was pure and serene.
