[Shimogamo Shrine] A sacred place surrounded by forest and water 🌿 A journey to purify your soul at the birthplace of mitarashi dango

#AbsolutelyFreeTrip Shimogamo Shrine (Kamo Mioya Shrine), one of the oldest shrines in Kyoto, is a historic shrine that is also registered as a World Heritage Site. It is surrounded by a virgin forest called Tadasu no Mori, and it is a mysterious space that makes it seem as if the shrine is floating in the forest✨ When you enter the shrine grounds, the clear air and sunlight filtering through the trees will soothe your soul. In particular, the Mitarashi Pond is the place where the name Mitarashi dango comes from, and you can experience the "foot-soaking ritual" where you soak your feet to purify your mind and body🍡 The nature changes with the seasons, and you can enjoy different charms whenever you visit, such as cherry blossoms in spring, greenery in summer, autumn leaves, and snowy scenery in winter. If you visit as a couple, you can share a special time in the quiet forest, If you travel alone, you can enjoy a luxurious time to face yourself surrounded by nature and sacred air. It is also popular with tourists from overseas, and is a spot where you can experience Japanese nature worship and culture 🌍 📍Access About a 10-minute walk from Keihan "Demachiyanagi Station". Take a city bus from Kyoto Station and get off at "Shimogamo Jinja-mae". Shimogamo Shrine is not just a shrine, but a "sacred place of forest and water". When traveling in Kyoto, be sure to visit this quiet and healing space 🌿✨ Shimogamo Shrine #Tadasu no Mori #Kyoto Trip #Birthplace of Mitarashi Dango #World Heritage Site #Overseas Trip #Couple Trip #Solo Trip
