[Kyoto] Don't forget to pray at the purification sand mound

●Name Kamigamo Shrine ●Access 339 Kamigamo Honzan, Kita-ku, Kyoto 🚗Private parking available ●Points Kyoto has many tourist spots, so it's hard to plan a route... The Higashiyama area is nice, but if you go a little further, I recommend the spacious Kamigamo Shrine. The official name is Wakeikazuchi Shrine. It means "a god with enough power to ward off thunder." It has been worshiped as a god of protection from misfortune, disasters, and victory since ancient times. When you pass through the torii gate, you will be greeted by a beautiful pile of sand, which is also sold as purification sand. In spring, there are cherry blossoms, in summer, and in autumn, there are autumn leaves. It is a shrine that is soothing no matter what season you visit. #KyotoTourism #Kyoto #Temples & Shrines
