I had chance to visit this shrine during Mantosai Festival (middle of Audust), and lanterns were really beautiful. You can also buy it for 500 yen and hang it by yourself.

天橋立の観光船の発着場である一の宮桟橋から徒歩で2分程度のところにある神社です。現在、伊勢神宮外宮に祀られている『豊受大神』が、元はこの神社に祀られていることもあり、『元伊勢』とも称されていますが、神社そのものは小ぢんまりとしており、境内を周遊するだけであれば1時間も要さないくらいです。天橋立の南端に位置する智恩寺の方が、天橋立駅から徒歩で数分でアクセス出来るからか、智恩寺の方が参拝客が多く、その...

京都伊勢丹にある聖護院八ッ橋。ニッキと抹茶味、それにそのままの八つ橋を自宅用に買いました。お土産には硬い八ッ橋を買いました。

鏡絵馬を奉納する女性の為の神社。下鴨神社の入り口にあります。鏡絵馬は800円。色鉛筆で可愛く描きます。お子様連れでも楽しいかも知れないです。

平安神宮のすぐ近くにあるのでついでに立ち寄りました。なかなかの規模のイベント会場で企業展なども行われるようですし、京都の伝統工芸が見学できるミュージアムもあり、企画展でなかれば無料で見学できました。時間があれば立ち寄ってもいい場所だと思います。
