[Kyoto] A must-see for girls traveling to Kyoto! Shimogamo Kawai Shrine, the god of beauty

Kawai Shrine has been worshiped as a branch shrine of Shimogamo Shrine since ancient times. It is widely worshipped as the "goddess of beauty" because the deity enshrined, Tamayorihime-no-Mikoto, was as beautiful as a jewel. Kawai Shrine also offers hand-mirror-shaped votive plaques, called "Kagami Ema," as prayer plaques for beauty. It is said that by applying makeup to the hand-mirror-shaped votive plaque with your regular cosmetics, writing your wish on the back, and entrusting your wish to the votive plaque, you will be able to polish not only your appearance but also your inner self and become beautiful. Experience the great outdoors in Tadasu Forest, visit Kawai Shrine, the goddess of beauty, Aioi-sha Shrine, the god of matchmaking, and Shimogamo Shrine, making this a must-see spot for girls' trips.
