    Kyoto Kyoutoshi Sakyou-ku Ichijoujimatsuharachou 1
    This Shinto shrine was established in 1294. It is a place where believers come to wish for academic success, and one anecdote tells of how Miyamoto Musashi challenged the Yoshioka clan to a duel at the Ichijyoji Temple Sagarimatsu. Although it was destroyed by fire in the Onin War, it was rebuilt in 1596.

    I found this shrine by a happy mistake. It seems that the legendary swordsman Miyamoto Musashi who developed the technique of two swords spent some time here and consequently has his statue standing...

    Kyoto Kyoto-shi Sakyo-ku Takanokamitakeyacho 36

    下鴨神社の系列で、本当の名前は、賀茂波爾神社(カモハニジンジャ)といいますが、近所で本名を言ってもたぶん通じません。 通称の赤の宮で通っています。 京都バスも市バスも停留所名は赤の宮です。 殆ど誰もいませんので、夜行くと怖いかも。 5月12日が、ここのお祭りです。

Its wooden tea houses, shuffling geisha, and spiritual sights have seen Kyoto hailed as the heart of traditional Japan, a world apart from ultramodern Tokyo. Despite being the Japanese capital for over a century, Kyoto escaped destruction during World War II, leaving behind a fascinating history which can be felt at every turn, from the fully gold-plated Kinkakuji Temple down to traditional customs such as geisha performances and tea ceremonies, which are still practiced to this day.
