Located in the verdant Tadasu no Mori, the forest of truth, Shimogamo Shrine is one of the oldest Shinto shrines in Japan and a designated UNESCO World Heritage site. This sacred site serves as a peaceful retreat in the heart of Kyoto, hosting the Aoi Matsuri, one of Kyoto’s three main festivals. With its primeval forest setting and the Kamo River flowing nearby, Shimogamo Shrine offers a serene environment where visitors can connect with ancient Japanese spiritual traditions and appreciate the beautifully preserved Heian-era architecture. Within its larger precincts lies Kawai Shrine, which focuses on a unique aspect of Shinto belief: personal aesthetics and appearances. Here, visitors can engage in a charming ritual—purchasing wooden plaques to write their wishes concerning beauty and what they wish to change about their appearances. This ritual is particularly popular among those seeking blessings for physical and spiritual beauty, making it a fascinating cultural exploration point.
