Kawai Shrine: Visit the most beautiful shrine in Japan

Kawai Shrine is located in Sakyo Ward within the grounds of Kyoto's famous Shimogamo Shrine (Kamo Goso Shrine), and the transportation to it is the same as that to Shimogamo Shrine. Kawai Shrine is only a small shrine, but there are many people coming to worship, and most of them are women. This is because Kawai Shrine enshrines the female guardian deity "Tamayorihime-no-Mikoto", who is in charge of marriage, beauty, safe childbirth and child-rearing, so it is very popular among women. In line with the theme of "beauty", the "Mirror Ema" of Kawai Shrine is also shaped like a makeup mirror. On one side, people can write their wishes, while on the other side, there is a girl's simple facial features, allowing worshippers to use cosmetics or colored pencils provided by the shrine to put on beautiful makeup for her. This is a very special way of worship, and girls should not miss it if they come here. In addition, Kawai Shrine also sells "Beauty Water", which is said to be able to beautify your skin and become more beautiful if you drink it every day. The on-site explanation is that it is made from a mixture of pear blossom honey from Shimogamo Shrine and sacred water. It tastes sweet with a slight floral scent, and it can also be blessed by the goddess of beauty, so it is a must-drink. #JapaneseAttractions #Kyoto #Kawai-jinja Shrine #God of Beauty #Mirror-Ema #BeautyWater #Sakyo-ku #Makeup-Ema #BecomePrettier
