It is a shrine where Japanese people often visit to pray for general things including praying for children for those who want to have children and there are also cats, so people who know often stop by to see the cats The caretaker of the shrine said that there are about 10 cats but on the day I went, they must have been cold, I saw about 4 cats If anyone stops by, it would be a good idea to bring some food or snacks for the cats 📍 Location: 30 Umesu Fukennogawacho, Ukeyo, Kyoto, 615-0921 Japan 🕗 Opening hours: 6:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. 🚙 Parking: There is free parking in front of the shrine for those who visit the shrine #Kyoto #TokyoTravel #TravelJapan #Japan #Shrine #UmenomiyaTaishaShrine
