Experience details

Begin your tour at the Shimogamo Shrine, a sacred site that predates Kyoto's establishment as the capital. Learn about its profound historical significance, as it was the first place where prayers were offered when Kyoto became the imperial capital.

Next, explore the shrine’s sacred forest, Tadasu no Mori. Discover a primeval forest that preserves the atmosphere of Japan’s ancient woodlands, with natural springs and clear streams flowing through its depths.

Finally, learn about the shrine’s recognition as part of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites of Kyoto. Hear about the unique fusion of nature, religion, and culture that makes this site truly special.
