The 10 Best Sacred & Religious Sites in Shinkyogoku Shopping District, Kinki

May 18, 2022 Jacquiline Darosa

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.

This small shrine in the shopping district of Kyoto is hard to miss if you're on the shopping trail. It is a very nicely maintained small shrine just of Shinkyogoku.

Seiganji Temple

Reviewed By kayokots - Kyoto, Japan

If you happen to walk through the shopping arcade one can find a quiet moment in front of a large Buddha. Take shoes off and walk up a few steps to the Buddha hall. No entrance fee hardly anybody is there very quiet. If you enjoy the quiet moment one can donate 100yen or 1 $. into the a large wooden box center of the hall as always Japanese people do.
