Afterwards, shift to Komyo-in Temple (15 Chome-809 Honmachi, open 07:00-17:00) for Zen rock gardens and mossy tranquility, ideal for minimalist portraits. ✨ Must-Do Photo Spots: - The endless vermilion arches at Senbon Torii (shoot from below for dramatic depth!) - Fushimi Inari’s main gate and fox guardians - Araki Shrine’s tucked-away side paths - Komyo-in’s garden reflections and raked patterns - Pose in kimono under the torii for an unforgettable Kyoto moment! 💡 Insider Tips: Arrive early for fewer crowds. Carry a spare battery—photo ops are endless! Be respectful at shrines; avoid blocking walkways. Slip on easy shoes for all the stairs. #Kyoto #PhotoJourney #ToriiGates #KimonoExperience #TravelJapan
