Protects against epidemics and brings good luck.

Nicknamed "Gion-san," it's a recommended spot! There's a Starbucks right in front, so it's a good place to take a break!

Day 2: Go for some Uji matcha shaved ice at Eirakuya Main Store (Kawaramachi Shijo). It's located right next to Hankyu Kawaramachi Station, on the northeast corner of Shijo Kawaramachi. The "Uji Kintoki Shaved Ice" (only available in summer) is served in a Japanese modern space that makes use of a traditional townhouse, and is luxurious with fluffy ice, plenty of Uji matcha syrup, shiratama, chestnuts, and red bean paste.

You can also buy dorayaki as a souvenir.

Day 3: Last night at the Kamogawa BAR.
End your trip to Kyoto by drinking at the bar.
The night breeze is refreshing and photogenic 🎆
