Search info about historical places of sword forging in Kyoto

As part of a lecture, can anyone point me to the local sites of the Gojo, Ayanokoji and Rai schools?
All the notes I know from sword readings turn out to be unverifiable. Although there are small signs or monuments for everything in Kyoto, or temples or shrines often had connections to local swordsmiths - even on site I could not find anything in the area of the Gojo, Ayanokoji or Aburanokoji streets.

The only proven forging sites I could find are Awata in the Higashiyama region (Sanjo, Awataguchi) and Yawata between Kyoto and Osaka.

So were you in Kaji-machi? Have you seen all the Sanjo Munechika sites?

I have a good listing,

Sanjo Munechika's pond Bukko-ji

Sanjo Munechika's mansion - Kaji-jinja in Kaji-machi

Sanjo Munechika's well - in front of the Chioin gate

Inariyama Yakima-mizu (another well) - Fushimi-ku Fukakusa

Rai Kuniyuki's home - Muko-jinja

Awataguchi Yoshimitsu's "Yoshimizu" well - Bentendo

Kurama-dera - several smiths forged outside the gate

Horikawa Kunihiro's yakiba-mizu - Hataeda jinja

Tanba no kami Yoshimichi's grave - Saiho-ji

Mishina Naomichi's grave - Dairyu-ji, Yamashina-ku

 

I recommend Fukunaga Suiken's Toko Iseki meguri 330 sen - a perfect traveling com pinion if you're into this sort of thing...

Thomas, thank you very much!

Yes, I was at the Kaji-Machi in Awata. In the Muko-Jinja (Myojin) I was not, that was too far for me and has not given the time. But above all: there is nothing - at least I have found nothing - that connects this shrine with the Rai school. Not even the shrine itself points to it. This surprises me, because there is usually some sign or stone with inscription. 
Well, Yawata is also considered a swordsmithing site, and Muko would be closer to Yawata than to Kyoto itself.
