Shimogamo Jinja Shrine is a one of the oldest shrine in Kyoto. There is an old forest area called ‘Tadasuno mori’. You will feel healing whenever you visit there.
I have to say I love this shrine for personal reason. What’s that? OK, I’ll tell. I held my wedding ceremony here! If you are lucky, you can watch the wedding family here. It might be happy time for you too.
There are many unique events here. Kemari(January), Setsubun (February), Nagashi-bina (March), Yabusame (May), Aoi matsuri (May), Mitarashi matsuri (August), and so on. You can buy cute souvenir here. I’ll recommend lucky charms should be nice.
