[2025 Kyoto Attraction] Travel Guide for Rokusonnō-jinja Shrine (Updated Apr)

Located within a 13-minute walk from JR Kyoto Station, Rokusonno Shrine is a historic shrine said to be the birthplace of the Seiwa Genji clan. It's also famous as a beautiful cherry blossom and wisteria viewing spot, but the shrine grounds are tranquil, so I think it's a hidden gem where you can worship at a relatively leisurely pace. It was a wonderful shrine that was easy to access even for solo travelers. ୨୧――――――――――――――――――୨୧ information Name of facility📍Rokusonno Shrine Address📍Mibu-dori Hachijo-kado, Minami-ku, Kyoto Access📍 ・13-minute walk from "Kyoto" on JR lines, Kintetsu Kyoto Line, and Karasuma subway line ・1-minute walk from "Rokusonno Shrine-mae" on city bus route 17 Opening hours📍24 hours ୨୧――――――――――――――――――୨୧ #Girls trip #Adult girls trip #Couple trip #Domestic travel #Japan #Kyoto sightseeing #Shrine tour #Shrines and temples #Rokusonno Shrine #Solo travel

Komizu Fudo Myoo Hall is located right next to Rokusonno Shrine, which I introduced the other day. It looks scary if you approach at night, but it has a great atmosphere and attracts many worshippers. Komizu Fudo Myoo is enshrined in the hall, and what surprised me most is that clear water still springs from under his feet. There was also a nostalgic hand pump, although it was a bit rusty. It was an exciting discovery to find that groundwater still springs up in this place, with the JR tracks right behind it. #Kyoto #Kimono #A trip to enjoy spring

I am very happy to meet you, the Six Sun King Shrine this shrine is very small, but the photographer and the travel will not be unfamiliar ~ Yoshino Sakura, double-flowered cherry are open on both sides of the road (Figure 3, 4) Yes: very few people! This time I went to Kyoto to see cherry blossoms. I didnt go to many places. Where are the people who go there, I was really lucky that day, my friend and I visited the East Temples special visit at 6 oclock in the morning. Look at the nearby temple near here, it took more than 10 minutes to come, it is really worth it! At 7 or 8 o'clock, we are both personal. Moreover, it was still raining when I visited the East Temple. Once I arrived at the Six Sun Wang Temple, it was clear, and the land quickly dried up. The temple is not big, but it is everywhere: the road, the stone bridge, the carp pond, the shrine, the stone lantern, and the shrine is small and complete. When I went there, the cherry blossoms were full, and I was fortunate enough to appreciate the morning sun shining on the scenery of the mosque and staying for a long time. was born by the sixth son of Qing and Emperor, also known as the King of the King, because it is the sixth son and grandson, so he called the six grandsons. The six grandsons lived in this shrine until dying. Later generations buried the six grandsons and built the temple, which is now the Six Sun King Shrine. The shrine in the center of the shrine is called the dragon pond. Because the six grandsons love the peony, the pattern on the pillar of the shrine is also a peony flower. Although it is a famous shrine, it is very good-looking. I have been enjoying it for half an hour with my friends. I have been patting. The red bird house is small, but no one. You can definitely take the desired angle and beautiful photos! Address: Kyoto City, Kyoto City, South District, Hosei-Tong, Hachijo territory visit time: 24 hours tickets free
