[Kyoto] The charm of "Matsuo Taisha Shrine", one stop away from Arashiyama Station

▶ Matsuo Taisha Shrine

Famous as a shrine dedicated to the god of sake, the shrine was established at the foot of Mt. Matsuo in the first year of the Taiho era (701) during the Asuka period, making it a shrine with a very long history⛩️

There are many votive sake barrels on the south side of the shrine grounds, and they contain sake not only from Kyoto, but from all over the country🍶

When you walk around the grounds, you will often see turtle and carp motifs! Turtles are said to be the guardians of eternal youth and longevity, and carp are said to be the guardians of success and good fortune, and are considered to be the messengers of Matsuo-no-Okami𓂃𓈒𓏸

There are three gardens and they are all very beautiful, but the "Kyokusui Garden" was particularly beautiful and impressive🥹

▶︎Onne Linen

A Scandinavian-style old-style cafe located right near Matsuo-Taisha Shrine where you can enjoy rice balls and cafe menus☕️

The "seasonal French toast", limited to 10 servings per day, was so delicious that I can say it was the best French toast I've ever eaten‼ ︎‼ ︎

Matsuo-Taisha Station is one stop away from Arashiyama Station, so be sure to stop by𓂃𓈒𓏸
