Top 10 Museums in Nishijin District, Kinki
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.

I love stores that sell more unique gifts and this was a great example of that.

Welcome to the Kyoto Butsuryu Museum Unfortunately, Buddhism became a mere name in the upheaval of the final days of the Tokugawa shogunate, around 1860. Buddhist priests lost sight of the primary mission to relieve people from sufferings in life.
