Legend has it that foxes protect farmland by eating mice that are harmful to crops, and therefore are given the sacred duty of guarding Inari Shrine. ⛩️Senbon Torii: Thousand Torii refers to a spectacular passage formed by hundreds of Torii gates connected together. "Torii" symbolizes the boundary between the divine realm and the human world. Believers express their gratitude or prayers by donating to build torii gates, and over time a long corridor of torii gates is formed. 2️⃣ Kiyomizu Temple 🎫400 yen/adult The dancing cherry blossoms along the streets play the prelude to spring, and the 👘 that can be seen everywhere has become the "walking code" of Kyoto. The oldest temple in Japan, where you can enjoy cherry blossoms in spring and maple leaves in autumn. Don't forget to come here to ask for a limited edition Sakura bell amulet to improve your fortune. Kiyomizu Temple and the stone slopes of Sannenzaka and Ninenzaka together form the core circle of Kyoto's Higashiyama culture. The slope is very Kyoto-style, with various Japanese snack shops and Japanese-style grocery stores on both sides. It is a good place to buy souvenirs in Kyoto~🍦! 4️⃣ Kodaiji Temple 🎫Ticket price: 600 yen/adult Open from 9:00 to 17:30, admission stops at 17:00, and will be extended to 21:30 during the cherry blossom season, summer night season, and red leaf season.
