[Kyoto: Jonangu Shrine] A special spring at a hidden spot in Kyoto 🌺✨

There are many historic shrines in Kyoto, but if you want to enjoy the atmosphere of spring, you can't miss Jonangu Shrine! 🥰
In particular, the "Spring Mountain Garden", where weeping plums and camellias are in full bloom, is like an elegant world loved by Heian aristocrats✨

Jonangu Shrine is also famous as a shrine for warding off evil spirits, and many worshippers come to pray for safe travels and moving!

This time, we will introduce the charms and highlights of Jonangu Shrine in spring🌸✨
