[Kyoto] Kongoji Temple (Yasaka Koshindo) - Colorful beanbags (wishing balls)

Birthplace of Koshin Belief

Japan's Three Koshin

Supporting Those Who Strive to Be Good
Kongoji Temple (Yasaka Koshin-do)

A shrine famous for its colorful beanbags, located just below Yasaka Pagoda.
The beanbags are called "negai-dama" (wishing balls), and people write their wishes on them and tie them to make wishes.

There are many restaurants nearby, and taking photos with the Koshin-do's wishing balls as a backdrop is a beautiful sight!

There are also many kimono rental shops, making it a great place to visit around Kiyomizu-dera Temple!

The kimono and wishing balls are a perfect match for photos.
