Kinkaku-ji Temple or Kitano Tenmangū Shrine

・Kinkaku-ji Temple 　

Yes — this is the famous golden temple everyone knows.

But when you’re here, it’s not just for photos.

It’s also a place to feel calm and quiet inside yourself.

・Kitano Tenmangū Shrine　

This shrine is dedicated to the god of learning, creativity, and talent.

People come here to pray for success in studies, exams, and artistic growth.

There’s also a famous shop nearby that sells delicious grilled mochi (rice cakes) — perfect for a sweet break!　

・Parking fee ¥600

10:50 AM

Kamigamo-jinja Shrine

One of the oldest shrines in Kyoto.

The god here is said to have power strong enough to split thunder.

People come to pray for protection, victory, and disaster prevention.

You can also try a unique water fortune-telling in the shrine grounds.

Lunch

I’ll also introduce you to some of my favorite local spots.

I especially recommend trying takoyaki, a popular local street food!　

・The parking fee is ¥800. (In some cases, free parking is available.)

01:20 PM

Shimogamo-jinja Shrine

Shimogamo Shrine ....is known for purification, renewal, and protection.

It’s a perfect place to reset your heart and body.

The air here feels fresh and sacred — especially when you walk through the forest.

The shrine is surrounded by a deep forest called Tadasu no Mori (the Forest of Truth).

This is my top recommended power spot in Kyoto.

Let’s take a slow walk, enjoy the peaceful air,

and maybe stop for shaved ice or rice cakes along the way.　

・Parking fee: ¥500

03:00 PM

Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine

The most powerful spot here is the Senbon Torii – the thousands of red gates.Walking through them is said to help you clear your mind and move forward in life.Each gate represents a wish, and as you pass through, you walk closer to your goals.

You can actually eat grilled sparrow here.

Why? Well… I’ll tell you during the tour.
