Kyoto: Oiwa Shrine, the entrance to another world

#DomesticTravel Oiwa Shrine It is located on the Higashiyama Course of the Kyoto Loop Trail. The easiest way to get to Oiwa Shrine is to take a taxi to Oiwayama Observatory and visit the shrine on the way down. The taxi fare is about 1000 to 1500 yen. The shrine is located in the forest, so it has an atmosphere that makes you feel like you've wandered into a dungeon in a game world. The torii gate was donated by a Japanese painter, and is carved with artistic and fantastical features. Oiwa Shrine does not currently have a priest, and local volunteers clean and protect the shrine. How about visiting Oiwa Shrine for a unique Kyoto shrine tour? The path is completely mountainous, so please be sure to dress appropriately. ■Location 35-33 Fukakusa Mukogaharacho, Fushimi-ku, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture ■Access JR Fujimori #Kyoto #Kyoto sightseeing #Kyoto sightseeing #Autumn foliage spots #Shrine tour #Shrines and temples #Oiwa Shrine #Kyoto Trail
