#KyotoTrip #KyotoSightseeing #BusTrip #CarWindow #UnlimitedRidesForOneDay When I go on a trip to Kyoto, I often use the city bus one-day pass, which is very convenient in Kyoto, where there are few subway lines. From the hotel I'm staying at, "The Eddystar Hotel Kyoto Nijo", I get on the bus at the bus stop [Horikawa Sanjo], which is a one-minute walk away, and pass Nijo Castle and [Seimei Shrine]. It's the famous shrine of Abe no Seimei, and although I've always wanted to go, I've never been, so I'll definitely visit it on my next trip to Kyoto. The bus stop is [Ichijo Modoribashi Seimei Shrine-mae]. When I took a photo from the bus window, in the center of the torii gate of [Seimei Shrine], instead of the name of the shrine, there is a star of an onmyoji... This made me want to go even more. To get from Horikawa Sanjo to Shimogamo Shrine, I had to change buses once on the way. ☆Kyoto City Bus Route 12☆【Horikawa Sanjo】→【Horikawa Marutamachi】→【Ichijo Modoribashi Seimei Shrine】→【Horikawa Imadegawa】→〈10 minutes walk〉→☆Kyoto City Bus Route 203☆【Kawaramachi Imadegawa】→【Demachiyanagi Station】→【Shimogamo Shrine】 On the way to the bus stop at Kawaramachi Imadegawa, where I had to change buses, there were many retro and stylish shops. I wanted to take a leisurely stroll here too, but it was hot and I didn't have much time, so I'll look forward to it next time. And I also wanted to stop by the next bus stop, Demachiyanagi Station. I wanted to buy some Mame Daifuku from the famous Japanese sweets shop Futaba in Demachiyanagi.

There are many shrines in Kyoto. After visiting many of them, the following five left the deepest impression on me. Each one is very unique. I wonder if everyone feels the same way? 1️⃣ Kiyomizu Temple (Pictures 2-5) Although the Kiyomizu Stage at Kiyomizu Temple has a sad story, and the legend that "jumping off the stage will make your wish come true" has caused many people to lose their lives, its design and scenery are truly amazing. Standing in the middle, you feel like you are surrounded by nature and forget that you are in the city. 2️⃣Shimogamo Shrine (Pictures 6-8) Shimogamo Shrine has a history of 2,000 years. It is located in the Tadasu Forest, which has about 600 giant trees ranging from 200 to 600 years old. No wonder it feels so deep and full of the flavor of the forest. The energy of nature is so strong. (The Mingyue Orchestra Festival is being held) 3️⃣Kibune Shrine and Okusha Shrine (Picture 9-12) Kibune has its own energy in the mountains and forests. The most impressive part is the Okumiya. It feels a little different as soon as you enter. It happened that the sky started to darken and it started to drizzle, and suddenly I felt that it was not suitable to stay for long. 4️⃣Fushimi Inari Shrine (Pictures 13-16) It is said that Fushimi Inari Taisha is very quiet at night, but very lively during the day, with many people busy taking pictures. The fox statues and souvenirs are very cute, adding a bit of positive energy! 5️⃣Seimei Shrine (Pictures 17-19) Seimei Shrine is a shrine dedicated to the Yin-Yang master Abe Seimei. There are various pentagrams in the shrine symbolizing Yin-Yang and the Five Elements. This shrine has a very Japanese feel, like a shrine from an anime, and the blessing of the Yin-Yang Master is awe-inspiring.

🌸The spring cherry blossoms at Motonari Junior High School are beautiful shades of pink and white, and unlike other early-blooming cherry blossoms, they are very beautiful when combined with the background of the buildings! 🌸The Kawazu cherry blossoms at Ichijo Modoribashi Bridge are actually only two or three trees, but they look like they are blooming abundantly. The combination of the traffic lights and the cherry blossoms is lovely, but the green light time is short. There is Seimei Shrine nearby, which you can visit together. In addition, the Horikawa Cherry Blossom Festival will be held on March 31st, and the cherry blossoms will be in full bloom! 🌸The Okame cherry blossoms at Chotoku-ji Temple are in poor condition, with many petals falling off due to yesterday's rain. The cherry blossoms reflected in the glass of the temple gate are a popular shooting method for local photographers in Kyoto, and I tried to imitate them. 🌸The Kawazu cherry blossoms along the Yodo Waterway are synonymous with early-blooming cherry blossoms in Kyoto, and they are beautiful no matter how you shoot them. There were a lot of green leaves today, but they are still wonderful. Shinsengumi fans can also visit Choenji Temple, where in front of the gate, Soji Okita's "Flowers and Water" overlaps with the scenery in front of them, creating a sense of melancholy in the fleeting colors of spring. #KyotoTrip #CherryBlossoms #TheArrivalofSpring

Seimei Shrine (Seimei Jinja) is a shrine dedicated to the famous Heian period onmyoji, Abe no Seimei (921-1005), located in Kamigyo Ward, Kyoto City. The shrine was built on the site of Seimei's former residence and is believed to offer protection against evil and misfortune. After Seimei's death, the shrine was established in 1007 by imperial decree of Emperor Ichijo. Initially, the shrine had a vast precinct, but it gradually shrank due to wars and urban development by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, leading to the deterioration of the shrine buildings. However, from the late Edo period onwards, Seimei's descendants restored the shrine and its grounds, and the main buildings were rebuilt in 1925. Highlights: 🌉 Ichijo Modori Bridge: An ancient bridge dating back to the Heian period. The name 'Modori' (return) comes from families praying for the safe return of soldiers. There is also a legend that the deceased were revived when funeral processions crossed this bridge. A new bridge was built in 1995, and parts of the old bridge's railing are preserved at Seimei Shrine. ✴️ Pentagram (Seimei Kikyō): A talisman mark used in Onmyodo, seen throughout Seimei Shrine. The kikyo flower, associated with Abe no Seimei, also blooms in the shrine grounds.

Take the Karasuma Line, get off at Imadegawa Station and walk for more than ten minutes to reach Seimei Shrine. Seimei Shrine is located in Seimei-cho, Kamigyo-ku, Kyoto City. The shrine enshrines Abe no Haruaki, the man in whose name Seimei died in 1005. Emperor Ichijo ordered the remains of Seimei's residence to be built into Seimei Shrine. The shrine was originally very large, but it gradually shrank due to war and Toyotomi Hideyoshi's urban development, and the temple was almost deserted. After the end of the shogunate, Harume's descendants renovated the shrine and courtyards, and the main buildings were restored in 1925. In 1950, Horikawa-dori was expanded to the interior of the shrine. In recent years, with the Abe Haruaki craze brought about by the Onmyoji series of anime and movies, Seimei Shrine has welcomed many tourists. The structures in the shrine include the main hall, the worship place, the statue of Abe no Haruaki, the office, the ema ya, the shikigami statue, the sacred tree, the peach that wards off bad luck, and the Seimei well (to the north of the main hall there is a well called Seimei well. The water that gushes out of this well is called Seimei water. It is said to be the spiritual power of Seimei's Onmyoji and is said to have the benefit of preventing illness and warding off disasters) I bought a five-pointed star amulet from Seimei Shrine and a red leaf bell that is only sold in autumn as a souvenir.

Before going to Japan, a friend happened to mention some Japanese legends, and when Abe no Seimei was brought up, I looked up information online and found the Seimei Shrine, so of course, I had to go and see it. Abe no Seimei was a 'Onmyoji' during the Heian period, mainly in charge of divination, rituals, and other activities. It is said that he had powerful magical abilities and even created the pentagram 'Kikyo Seal', which is known as the strongest symbol for subduing demons and evil spirits. The Seimei Shrine was built from his former residence, and there are so many things to see inside, such as the Hime Bridge, Shikigami stone statues, Seimei Well, Sun and Moon Pillars, Yakuyoke Peach, Sacred Tree, and so on. Especially after watching the 'Onmyoji' anime or movie, visiting the shrine gives a different feeling. I find their amulets particularly beautiful, and I bought many. Before leaving, you can also visit 'Kikyo-An', which is a recognized shop of the Seimei Shrine, selling products related to the shrine, satisfying all anime fans.
