[Kyoto Prefecture/Kamo Wakeikazuchi Shrine] Mysterious Two Standing Sands

Kamigamo Shrine is known as the oldest shrine in Kyoto. Its official name is Kamo Wakeikazuchi Shrine. It is also known as the guardian deity of the Kamo clan, a powerful clan in ancient Yamashiro. The shrine is very large, and the approach to the shrine is also spacious, as a horse racing ritual is held there. Going through the second torii gate, there is a thin shrine with two mysterious standing sands. It is modeled after the sacred mountain where the gods descended. There are also many shrines within the grounds, so it is a place you will want to take your time to visit. ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ ꕥShrine name: Kamo Wakeikazuchi Shrine ꕥAddress: 339 Kamigamo Honzan, Kita-ku, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture ꕥAccess 🚌🚏Misonoguchicho → 🚶♀️About 5 minutes walk ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ #Kyoto sightseeing #Kyoto trip #Shrines and temples #Shrine tour #National treasure
