I rode my bicycle from Shijo Hilton and saw a rainbow. There was a delicious izakaya next to it. I drank until I was tipsy and waited for the night to arrive. I toured the castle of the Shogun at night. The feast of light and shadow was worth the price of the ticket.

Kifune Shrine

魔女锦鲤

Going up the mountain along the flat road, the vermilion torii in front of you is the Kifune Shrine. There are many red lanterns on both sides of the long stairs, which is also the most photographed place in Kifune Shrine - the lantern-offering shrine. On the side of the bottom of the stairs, many photographers have already occupied favorable shooting positions, waiting for the lights to be turned on at night.

Kifune Shrine is an ancient shrine at the western foot of Kurama Mountain and the head shrine of Kifune Shrine. This is also the source of water for Kyoto. Kifune Shrine enshrines the most revered water god of Kyoto people. It has a history of more than 1,600 years, which is longer than the history of Kyoto itself.

The steps paved with bluestone slabs extend from the torii to the main shrine of the shrine. Vermilion lanterns stand on both sides of the shrine. Looking from the bottom up, they are densely packed all the way, which is very spectacular.

I went there last year to see the autumn leaves and it was so beautiful.
I&#39;m planning to go again at the end of this year.
It will be lit up from the 10th of next month until the end of the year.

It has everything it needs. It doesn&#39;t look big and it takes 2 hours to see it all. Tickets at the door are 2400 for adults and 1200 for children, so buying tickets on Ctrip is affordable. Tickets are issued in real time and can be exchanged manually at the counter for admission.

Heian-jingū Shrine

蓝星旅行者

The shrines are all local Shinto shrines in Japan. They are different from temples and actually have more local characteristics.

[Scenery] The scenery is very good. The architecture is said to be Tang style, but the pond and 🌲 trees are more beautiful.

[Value for money] 600 yen is not expensive.

It is unexpected that weddings can be held here.
