10 Historic Sites in Shinkyogoku Shopping District That You Shouldn't Miss

October 15, 2021 Matilde Konrad

The shrines and temples of Kyoto offer a rare link between modern life in the city and its very ancient past. The Shimogamo Shrine dates to the 6th century and seems suspended in time, its serenity and spiritual power still palpable. Visit Fushimi Inari Shrine, then see the life-sized Thousand Armed Kannon statues of Sanjūsangen-dō. Enjoy traditional geisha performances, then savor a tranquil meal at a restaurant overlooking the Kamo River.

It is interesting a man with such a historic significance with the restoration of the Imperial family would have more than this at the place he was killed.
