Volledige beschrijving

Come with us to discover the Kifune Shrine on an immersive guided tour in the heart of the Kyoto Mountains on foot and by public transport.

Going up the sacred river, you go to the Okumiya, sanctuary from the bottom, then return via the Nakamiya then finish the tour with the Honden, main building. You will thus understand the role of water and rain deities in Shinto, very important for Japan, a country surrounded by the sea and whose rain is essential for rice cultivation.

This symbolic route is punctuated by stone lanterns. The forest is moist and cool. It will do you good especially during the Japanese summer! The spiritual atmosphere of the place accompanies you, away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

On this half day you will learn more about Japan and its indigenous religion, Shinto. You will also have a good breath of fresh air away from the city. Are you coming? We are waiting for you!

Route

Kyoto Station. We take public transport and we are getting deeper and deeper into the Kyoto campaign.

Kibune Village. The village of Kibune (now administratively attached to the city of Kyoto) welcomes us. Its traditional Japanese houses line the Kibune River.

Okumiya. We first go to Okumiya where Kuraokami and Takaokami, water deities, are revered. The Okumiya is considered the oldest and holiest site of the site.

Nakamiya. We go to Nakamiya, where the deity Iwanagahime is revered, associated with longevity, stability and permanence.

Honden, main hall of Kifune-jinja. We finally go to Honden, the main building where Kuraokami no Kami, the major deity of water, rain, clouds and the hydrological cycle, is revered.
