[Kifune Shrine] Make a wish to the God of Water 💧 A journey to find love in a fantastical forest

#AbsolutelyFreeTrip

"Kifune Shrine" located deep in Kurama, Kyoto is known as a shrine dedicated to the god of water, and is a popular power spot for matchmaking and love fulfillment✨
The stone steps lined with vermilion lanterns and the mysterious space surrounded by a deep green forest make you feel as if you have wandered into a storybook.
When you actually visit, the air is clear and you are transported to a world of silence where only the murmuring of the river and the singing of birds echo.
"Mizuuranai Mikuji" is a unique fortune telling slip in which the letters appear when the paper is floated on water, making it a perfect travel memory💧
In the summer, there is also an area where you can enjoy riverside cuisine, allowing you to spend a luxurious time while feeling the coolness.
If you visit as a couple, it will be a romantic time with the hope of finding love.
If you are traveling alone, it will be a healing time to face yourself surrounded by nature and sacred air.
It is also popular with tourists from overseas, and is a spot where you can experience Japanese nature worship and culture 🌍
📍Access
From Eizan Electric Railway "Kifuneguchi Station" take the Kyoto Bus to "Kifune" and walk for about 5 minutes.
From Kyoto Station it is about an hour by train and bus.
*It is a mountain path so we recommend wearing comfortable walking shoes.
Kifune Shrine is a "place of healing and prayer" where nature and gods coexist.
On your trip to Kyoto, be sure to visit this fantastical forest 🌲✨
