Wonderful Japan, where the traditional and slightly mystical coexist effortlessly with the ultra‑modern.
A temizuya, purification pavilion, at a Shinto shrine in Kyoto.
And of course, modern vending machines right beside it.
Soon going back.....

A Japanese purification pavilion (temizuya) at night within a shrine complex. The structure has a tiled roof supported by wooden pillars and is softly lit by hanging paper lanterns with Japanese calligraphy. Beneath the roof is a stone basin with ladles used for ritual cleansing. To the right, a small building houses vending machines, blending traditional and modern elements. In the background, a large red temple building adds depth and cultural significance to the scene.

Year of the Horse 2026 - Matsuo-taisha (松尾大社). #matsuotaisha #松尾大社 #kyoto #newyear2026 #kyototrip #kyotojapan #正月 #yearofthehorse #shinto #shintoshrine
Yesterday, I visited the Matsuo-taisha (松尾大社) in Arashiyama, Kyoto. After paying our respects, we indulged in some Mitarai tango at the Danpurin shop (甘味処 団ぷ鈴), which was conveniently located within the premises. Matsuo-taisha (松尾大社), a historic Shinto shrine situated just south of Arashiyama in Kyoto, holds a special place in the city’s history. Established in 701, it stands as one of the oldest shrines, revered for centuries as a sacred place to seek blessings for the sake and miso brewing industries. The shrine’s sacred spring water, used and revered by brewers for generations, has been a source of inspiration and prosperity for these artisans.

Year of the Horse 2026 - Fujinomori Shrine.

Today, I visited the Fujinomori Shrine (藤森神社) in Kyoto. I had heard that they have a large ema (a wooden plaque) in the precincts.

In the year 2026, in Kyoto, Japan, the Year of the Horse begins.

I visited the Fujinomori Shrine (藤森神社) in Kyoto. I had heard that they have a large ema (a wooden plaque) in the precincts. #fujinomorishrine #藤森神社 #kyoto #newyear2026 #kyototrip #kyotojapan #正月 #yearofthehorse #shinto #shintoshrine
Today, I visited the Fujinomori Shrine (藤森神社) in Kyoto. I had heard that they have a large ema (a wooden plaque) in the precincts. The horse, the seventh symbol in the Japanese Zodiac, represents “liveliness” and “openness.” Historically, horses and humans coexisted and collaborated, their muscular bodies and immense power embodying the essence of “life.” Horses are cheerful, sociable, and decisive. They are also versatile and excel in various fields, but they tend to get bored easily and leave tasks unfinished. Additionally, they exhibit a vain streak and are known for their extravagant spending habits.
