A Quiet, Hidden Gem in Kyoto

#springitinerary Rokusonnō Shrine is one of those little-known spots in Kyoto that’s perfect if you’re looking for a break from the usual touristy places. It’s tucked away in the city, so it doesn’t get crowded, which makes it super peaceful. The vibe here is really calm and serene, with a mix of old trees, quiet pathways, and traditional Japanese architecture. The shrine is dedicated to the gods of agriculture and prosperity, but it’s not flashy. just a beautiful, understated place to wander around. The grounds are small but pretty, with a couple of cool torii gates and a little pond. It’s one of those places where you can just sit and enjoy the atmosphere without being rushed. Definitely not on the typical tourist trail, but that’s part of its charm. If you’re in Kyoto and want to escape the crowds, this is a perfect spot to slow down and enjoy some quiet time.

Komizu Fudo Myoo Hall is located right next to Rokusonno Shrine, which I introduced the other day. It looks scary if you approach at night, but it has a great atmosphere and attracts many worshippers. Komizu Fudo Myoo is enshrined in the hall, and what surprised me most is that clear water still springs from under his feet. There was also a nostalgic hand pump, although it was a bit rusty. It was an exciting discovery to find that groundwater still springs up in this place, with the JR tracks right behind it. #Kyoto #Kimono #A trip to enjoy spring

A hidden photo spot in Kyoto. Rokusonno Shrine. It is located about a 15-minute walk from Kyoto Station. Rokusonno Shrine enshrines Minamoto no Tsunemoto. Carp swim in the pond in the shrine grounds, and the stone-paved bridge is said to have come to be called the "Koi (Love) Bridge." Recently, it has also been attracting attention as a power spot. Although it is not yet well known, it is compactly located with torii gates, stone paving, lanterns, and a pond, making it suitable for taking portraits. It is also recommended for those who go out in kimono. #Kimono #Japanese clothing #Rokusonno Shrine #Kyoto #Shrine
