Sakura Spot No One’s Talking About 🌸

#cherryblossom25 Okay, Rokusonno Shrine is such an underrated cherry blossom spot, it’s like Kyoto’s best-kept secret. Tucked away in a quiet neighborhood, this little shrine doesn’t have the flashy reputation of the big sakura spots, but that’s exactly what makes it awesome. You won’t be fighting crowds or waiting forever to snap that perfect blossom pic. The cherry trees here are super pretty, especially with the classic shrine buildings as a backdrop. It feels really local and peaceful, almost like you’ve time-traveled into an old-school Kyoto moment. You might even catch some locals just casually strolling through or dropping by for a quick prayer. It’s got that real Kyoto vibe, humble, calm, and totally charming. If you’re into chill hanami without the chaos, this place is 100% worth a visit. Bring a coffee, take your time, and just enjoy the soft pink magic.

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
